Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left shoulder condition to obtain an addendum VA medical opinion regarding its etiology, including whether it is related to service or secondary to posttraumatic stress disorder and a right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical opinions addressing the potential nexus between the Veteran's left shoulder condition and his service-connected PTSD and right shoulder disability.
