Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbar spine, left ankle, and GERD disabilities but denied higher ratings for the right shoulder and left knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the degree of limitation of motion in the right shoulder and left knee, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
