Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of right shoulder pain and replacement due to errors in the duty to assist. A new VA examination is required.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a previous medical opinion was inadequate because it did not consider the Veteran's assertions about his military occupational specialty as an EOD diver.
