Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication of the claims for service connection for a cervical spine and left shoulder disabilities based on new and relevant evidence, but remanded both claims for further development.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was received after the January 2024 rating decision, warranting readjudication. However, additional VA examinations are needed to determine if the current disabilities are related to service.
