Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right shoulder disability due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need for a more thorough VA examination, as it is unclear why the Veteran was unavailable for previous examinations and his preference for telehealth or audio examinations should be considered.
