The Board has granted service connection for recurrent right shoulder dislocation based on aggravation during service, finding that the Veteran's pre-existing condition was aggravated by his in-service injury and subsequent surgery.
The deciding factor: Service connection is granted as the Veteran's right shoulder condition was aggravated during service due to a pre-existing condition exacerbated by an in-service injury.
