Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left shoulder condition, cervical spine condition, and low back condition due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 medical opinions were found to be inadequate as they failed to consider the Veteran's lay reports of symptoms and provided insufficient rationale.
