Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating in excess of 20 percent for right shoulder osteoarthritis with glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joint instability but granted a separate 30 percent rating for impairment of the right humerus associated with this condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but recurrent dislocation of the humerus warranted a separate rating under Diagnostic Code 5202.
