Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's preexisting right clavicle fracture was worsened by his active service.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 and January 2023 medical opinions are inadequate for rating purposes, as they do not adequately address the Veteran's contentions or provide a thorough rationale.
