Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a right shoulder disability due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA medical opinion did not adequately consider the Veteran's lay statements regarding an in-service event, and thus, a new examination is required.
