Granted
The Board granted service connection for right shoulder disability, diagnosed as right acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis with glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis with rotator cuff tendonitis, based on the evidence showing an in-service injury and a nexus to current disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible lay statements from the Veteran and corroborating statements from his wife and fellow serviceman, along with a positive medical opinion linking the condition to service, as the deciding factors for granting service connection.
