Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain, cervical strain, left shoulder strain, and right shoulder strain.
The deciding factor: The RO's October 2025 rating decision based the grants on VA examinations conducted in September 2025, which are outside the period reviewable by the Board due to the Veteran's election of the hearing lane in December 2019.
