Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for right shoulder impingement syndrome and RLE radiculopathy, as the evidence did not support a higher rating at any point during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination found no significant functional impairment or symptoms more nearly approximating moderate incomplete paralysis for either condition, thus supporting the denial of increased ratings.
