The Veteran's right shoulder impingement was granted a 30 percent disability rating prior to August 8, 2019. From August 8, 2019 to August 10, 2020, the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating. Since August 10, 2020, she is granted a 40 percent disability rating. The Veteran also received TDIU prior to July 26, 2012.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's right shoulder condition met the criteria for a 30 percent disability rating prior to August 8, 2019, and since August 10, 2020. However, from August 8, 2019 to August 10, 2020, her condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
