Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a right shoulder impingement rating in excess of 20 percent and service connection for a left shoulder disability, as both require additional evidence to be considered.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examinations were found inadequate due to missing information on symptomology and an opinion regarding aggravation for the secondary claim.
