Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's left shoulder disability and remanded claims for increased ratings for his left knee sprain and service connection for a left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to limited motion, and there was a need for additional development regarding the left knee and left ankle claims.
