Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right shoulder condition to afford the Veteran a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed condition.
The deciding factor: The failure to provide an etiological opinion is a pre-decisional duty to assist error, and the Veteran should be afforded a VA examination to address this issue.
