Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left shoulder strain, finding that the evidence supports a causal relationship between the current disability and an in-service event. The claim for a respiratory disorder was remanded due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's reported symptoms and medical records showing treatment for left shoulder pain shortly after service, supporting a direct link to service.
