Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent evaluation for the right shoulder disability from August 9, 2023, but denied evaluations in excess of 10 percent and 20 percent prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right shoulder disability was shown to have exhibited objective evidence of pain and limitation of motion during flare-ups, warranting a higher evaluation from August 9, 2023, but not before due to the lack of compensable limitation of motion.
