Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right shoulder condition to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing the nature and etiology of the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate VA examination that did not address direct service connection, as the Veteran has consistently asserted that his right shoulder injury occurred independently of his service-connected right knee condition.
