Partly granted
The veteran's 50 percent rating for a right shoulder disability, effective April 1, 2018, is restored. The issue of an increased rating beyond 50 percent is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found the July 2017 VA examination inadequate and thus improperly reduced the veteran's rating.
