Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 30 percent disabling, but no higher, for the Veteran's left shoulder disability from May 12, 2017, to June 4, 2017.
The deciding factor: The private examination on May 12, 2017, indicated intermediate ankylosis of the left shoulder, which warranted a 30 percent rating during this period.
