Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to higher ratings for the Veteran's right shoulder recurrent dislocation due to an inadequate examination report that did not adequately consider all of the Veteran's symptomology associated with his right shoulder dislocation, particularly his functional loss due to pain.
The deciding factor: Remand is required as the November 2024 VA examination did not provide adequate information regarding the Veteran's level of functional impairment caused by his right shoulder disability.
