The Board denied service connection for radiculopathy right upper extremity (RUE) and remanded the claim for a disability rating in excess of 20 percent for radiculopathy left upper extremity (LUE).
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion indicated that the Veteran's RUE radiculopathy is not caused or aggravated by his service-connected status post fracture of the left shoulder with impingement.
