The veteran was granted service connection for right bicep injury and right shoulder condition as secondary to left shoulder condition. A 10 percent initial disability rating for right hip strain was also granted, but an increased rating for right hip flexion was denied. The claim for TDIU was remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record is in approximate balance as to whether there is a nexus between the left shoulder condition and right shoulder and right bicep conditions.
