Partly granted
The Veteran's service connection for a left shoulder injury was granted, while the claims for increased ratings for his left knee injuries were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the direct link between the Veteran's left shoulder injury and active-duty service, but did not support higher ratings due to limited range of motion or instability in the left knee.
