Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for right shoulder conditions, citing errors in the adjudication process.
The deciding factor: The Board found that VA treatment records from December 2011 were constructively received and relevant to the issues, making the December 2011 rating decision nonfinal.
