Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's right-shoulder condition and remanded claims for service connection for right-hand and left-hand conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right shoulder flexion and abduction were limited, but not to a degree that would warrant a higher rating. The Board found no evidence supporting service connection for the bilateral hand conditions.
