Granted
The Board granted service connection for right shoulder impingement syndrome as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a finding that the Veteran's right shoulder condition is caused by his constant use of an assistive device for ambulation due to his service-connected right lower extremity disabilities.
