Left Shoulder Condition . The VA rated the left shoulder at 10% coded 5203 (scapular impairment) citing “limited or painful motion.” The ROM values reported by the MEB and VA examiner, performed 3 months before separation and a month after separation, are significantly worse than those reported by orthopedics dated 6 months prior to separation. The shoulder limited ROM at 90 degrees supports the minimum rating under code 5201 (arm; limitation of motion).After due deliberation, considering...

All ligaments were stable to testing and evidence of meniscal tear was absent.The MEB examiner on 11 May 2006 (4 months prior to separation) noted “limited range of motion due to pain” in the right knee, but range-of-motion (ROM) measurements were not performed. After due deliberation, considering all of the evidence and mindful of VASRD §4.3 (reasonable doubt), the Board recommends a disability rating of 20% for the chronic left shoulder pain condition, coded 5201 (arm, limitation of...

The Board’s role is thus confined to the review of medical records and all evidence at hand to assess the fairness of PEB rating determinations, compared to VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) standards, based on ratable severity at the time of separation; and, to review those fitness determinations within its scope (as elaborated above) consistent with performance-based criteria in evidence at separation.

At the MEB exam and FPEB appearance, the CI reported pain in his shoulder and inability to do pull-ups.

BOARD FINDINGS : IAW DoDI 6040.44, provisions of DoD or Military Department regulations or guidelines relied upon by the PEB will not be considered by the Board to the extent they were inconsistent with the VASRD in effect at the time of the adjudication.The Board did not...

Additionally, members agreed that the chronic low back pain and left shoulder pain conditions, as isolated conditions, would have rendered the CI incapable of continued service within his MOS and therefore each is separately unfitting and merits a separate rating.
