Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a rating in excess of 20 percent for left shoulder disability from November 1, 2024, to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an unaddressed duty to assist error regarding the Veteran's pain and range of motion without the ameliorative effects of medication.
