Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right shoulder pain to obtain additional medical opinions that provide a rationale and consider the Veteran's lay statements.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to deficiencies in the current medical opinions, including lack of rationale and consideration of the Veteran's contentions of in-service injury.
