Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for her service-connected right shoulder disability, as there was no evidence to support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show nonunion with loose movement or dislocation necessary for a higher 20 percent evaluation under DC 5203.
