Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's left shoulder osteoarthritis, finding that the evidence was at least evenly balanced regarding whether the condition is related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The reasonable doubt created by this relative equipoise in the evidence must be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
