1Opinion of the Court
DYK, Circuit Judge.
Alva Jandreau (“Jandreau”) appeals the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans’ Court”). That court affirmed an earlier decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (“Board”) that denied service connection for residuals of a right-shoulder dislocation. We reject appellant’s argument that the evidentiary standard should be relaxed, but hold that the .Veterans’ Court improperly held that lay evidence cannot be used to establish a medical diagnosis. We remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
