Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for left shoulder rotator cuff tendonitis with AC osteoarthritis and remanded the claims for bilateral hand condition, right upper extremity peripheral neuropathy, and erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's left shoulder disability began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease. The Board also determined that additional VA examinations are necessary for the other claims due to insufficient medical opinions.
