Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 20 percent for his left shoulder disability. The evidence did not show the required level of motion limitation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left shoulder disability is characterized by limitation of motion from midway between the side of the body and shoulder level, but not to 25 degrees from the side.
