Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left shoulder disability to secure an addendum opinion that adequately considers the Veteran's reported in-service injury and continuous symptoms.
The deciding factor: The previous VA nexus opinions were found inadequate as they did not address the Veteran's conceded injury or his reports of continuous symptoms since service.
