Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional evidentiary development to address deficiencies in previous VA examinations regarding the Veteran's right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The July 2017, April 2018, and February 2021 VA examinations were found inadequate due to their failure to adequately address the impact of medication on the Veteran's condition and other issues related to flare-ups.
