Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of multiple conditions, including hip tendinitis, shoulder strain, upper extremity radiculopathy, cervical strain, and lumbosacral strain. The VA examinations were deemed inadequate, and further evaluations are required.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not thoroughly address the Veteran's statements about his symptoms during and after service.
