Denied
The Board denied an increased rating above 20 percent for the Veteran's left shoulder acromioclavicular separation and a Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) as the evidence did not support these claims.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reported decreased range of motion was not supported by objective medical findings, and his combined disability rating did not meet the criteria for TDIU.
