Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left shoulder disabilities due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, including the need for VA examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the failure to request relevant medical records and provide a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's shoulder disabilities.
