Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal to correct an error in satisfying a statutory duty under 38 U.S.C. § 5104(b) regarding the effective date of service connection for right shoulder impairment.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to include the basis for the decision, which effectively removed the Veteran's right to one review on appeal as required by 38 U.S.C. § 7104(a).
