Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a left shoulder disorder to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a hearing before VA issues a decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an error by the AOJ in failing to provide adequate notice of a hearing, which is necessary under 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(b)(1) and (d)(1).
