Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left shoulder disability and denied an increased rating greater than 20 percent for the veteran's left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's current left shoulder disability is related to his in-service injury, and there is no evidence of persistent instability or other symptoms warranting a higher rating for the left knee disability.
