Granted
The Board granted service connection for scapulohumeral dystrophy, finding that the evidence is at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's condition was aggravated by active service.
The deciding factor: The June 2021 VA opinion and medical literature cited did not provide a valid analysis of the significant facts of the case, leading the Board to find clear and unmistakable evidence that the disability was aggravated during service.
