The Board granted readjudication of the claim for service connection for a left shoulder disorder and remanded claims for service connection for right shoulder, back, neck, and acquired psychiatric disorders.

The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was received since the prior denial, warranting readjudication of the left shoulder claim. Pre-decisional duty to assist errors also necessitate remand for other claims.
