Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher rating for left shoulder scars because the scars do not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left shoulder scars do not cover an area of at least 144 square inches and are not painful or unstable.
