Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of the claims for service connection for a left shoulder, left ankle, and bilateral foot disabilities based on new and relevant evidence received since previous denials.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA medical examinations established current diagnoses that were not previously considered by the AOJ, thus granting service connection was warranted.
