Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right shoulder disorder to cure a pre-decisional duty to assist error due to an inaccurate factual premise in the previous VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because the previous VA examiner provided an inaccurate factual premise regarding the Veteran's right shoulder condition at separation from service, necessitating another etiological opinion.
