Partly granted
The Veteran's left shoulder disability was granted a 30 percent rating from September 1, 2011, and the request for a longer temporary total evaluation period was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's abduction range of motion limited to 15 degrees during flares and after repeated use over time warranted a 30 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 5201.
