Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's right shoulder strain with tendonitis and remanded issues related to service connection for right cervical radiculopathy and recognition of K.W. as a helpless child.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to limited range of motion, and there was no credible medical opinion linking the right cervical radiculopathy to the Veteran's service-connected shoulder condition.
