Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral shoulder condition, neck pain, and foot condition due to a pre-decisional error in the duty to assist.
The deciding factor: Remand is required as no competent medical source has opined that the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to service or caused by a service-connected disability. Additionally, the Veteran has not been afforded a VA examination and opinion.
