Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disability but granted service connection for a left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the existence of a current right shoulder disability, while the VA examiner's opinion supported a link between the Veteran's active service and his left knee disability.
