Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a left shoulder disorder, finding no evidence of a nexus between the in-service injury and current symptoms.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical opinion was found to be highly probative as it considered the Veteran's lay reports, service treatment records, post-service medical evidence, and offered a clear explanation connecting clinical evidence to the conclusions drawn.
