Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right shoulder conditions due to a need for additional evidence, specifically outstanding VA treatment records prior to August 7, 2024, and a nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to incomplete medical records and the need for a nexus opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the bilateral shoulder condition based on in-service symptoms and duties.
