Partly granted
The veteran was granted a temporary total disability rating for convalescence from August 2014 to February 28, 2015. The decision on extending this rating beyond that date and another surgery in 2017 has been remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's left shoulder labrum repair was secondary to a service-connected left pectoralis major disability.
