Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's status post left shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's left shoulder disability more nearly approximated flexion or abduction limited to 25 degrees or less, which would have warranted a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
