Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a right shoulder disability and increased the rating for right knee instability to 30 percent, effective April 25, 2024, while denying other claims.
The deciding factor: The right shoulder disability was found to be caused by or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected lumbosacral strain. The right knee instability was determined to have persisted beyond its normal progression due to his service-connected disabilities.
