Granted
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for his left shoulder disability and TDIU was granted, with a 40 percent rating assigned effective September 22, 2009.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a 40 percent rating based on unfavorable ankylosis of the left shoulder throughout the appeal period, and that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities met the criteria for TDIU.
