Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA medical examination to determine the nature and etiology of any left shoulder disability related to an in-service incident.
The deciding factor: VA's duty to provide a medical examination has been triggered due to evidence suggesting a possible association between the Veteran's current left shoulder condition and his in-service injury.
