Granted
The Board granted service connection for right shoulder arthritis, finding that the evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether it is related to active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's combat service and lay statements, which provided a sufficient basis to conclude that his right shoulder disability is related to his military service.
