Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right shoulder disorder due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain an opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's current right shoulder disorder as there is insufficient competent evidence to decide the claim.
