Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional evidence and a medical opinion regarding whether the Veteran's left shoulder, cervical, and back conditions were proximately caused by his participation in the VA CWT program.
The deciding factor: The January 2017 VA opinions are found to be inadequate, and an updated medical opinion is needed to address the claims under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
