Granted
The Board granted a temporary total evaluation for the Veteran's right shoulder disability and an evaluation of 30 percent, but no higher, beginning December 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected right shoulder required surgery necessitating convalescence, and she experienced intermediate degrees of residual weakness, pain or limitation of motion, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5201.
