Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right shoulder and right wrist disorders to obtain additional medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions are inadequate as they rely solely on the absence of documentation in service treatment records, which is an error that could have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claim.
