Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left shoulder disability to obtain a new medical opinion that adequately addresses the Veteran's statements and service treatment records.
The deciding factor: The January 2022 VA examination was inadequate as it did not address all relevant evidence, including lay statements and service treatment records.
