Granted
The Veteran's right shoulder disability was granted a 40 percent rating from March 30, 2011, due to limitation of motion.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's right shoulder disability more closely approximated limitation of motion of the arm to 25 degrees from the side, warranting a 40 percent rating under DC 5201.
