Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for right knee scars was denied. Service connection for a right shoulder disability was granted. The claims for ratings related to right knee degenerative arthritis were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on the right knee scars was based on the lack of disabling effects and the size of the scars not meeting the criteria for a compensable rating.
