Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a rating in excess of 40 percent for the Veteran's service-connected degenerative joint disease of the right shoulder with limitation of motion, prior to March 11, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability was evaluated under Diagnostic Codes 5010-5201 and found not to meet the criteria for a higher rating due to the maximum allowed rating being 40 percent.
