Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's right shoulder impingement syndrome with rotator cuff tendonitis and PTSD, as the evidence did not support a higher disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of his right shoulder condition and PTSD were found to be insufficient to warrant a higher disability rating under the applicable criteria.
