Knee Board decisions

The Veteran's right and left knee conditions do not warrant a disability rating in excess of 10 percent.

The Board denied service connection for a right knee/leg disorder as there was no evidence of a chronic condition in service or that the current conditions are related to service.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for right knee strain, left knee strain, and degenerative joint disease of the lumbosacral spine as secondary to his service-connected bilateral heel spur disabilities.

The Veteran's left knee disabilities are appropriately rated, and the criteria for increased ratings are not met.

The claims for service connection for various conditions, including folliculitis, musculoskeletal strain, left ulnar nerve neuropathy, facial congestion and breathing difficulties, sperm abnormalities, right shoulder disorder, and right knee disorder are being remanded for additional medical examination and opinion.

The Board remands the claims for a new VA examination to reconcile current findings with previous diagnoses and treatment notes.

The Veteran's degenerative disc disease and degenerative joint disease of the lumbosacral spine with left hip pain does not warrant a disability rating in excess of 10 percent, but he is granted a separate 10 percent rating for an objective neurological abnormality based on mild impairment of the right lower extremity.

The Veteran's right knee disability is rated at 10 percent, and the left arm disability is also rated at 10 percent; no higher ratings are warranted based on the evidence.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development, as service treatment records are missing and a VA examination cannot be conducted without these records.

The Veteran's right knee disability was not found to warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent, and service connection for asbestosis was denied.

The Board remanded the case for further development as it denied the appellant's claims of service connection for left knee, left hip and back disabilities.

The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected chondromalacia of the right knee, as the evidence did not support a higher rating based on limitation of motion or other factors.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for additional development and consideration of evidence submitted by the Veteran.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for a dental disorder, degenerative joint disease of the lumbar spine, cervical strain, residuals of vein harvest on the left lower extremity, right and left knee chondromalacia, and scar of the left inner thigh were denied.

The claim of service connection for residuals of a right knee injury is remanded to the RO for further development and adjudication, including consideration of secondary service connection.

The veteran's claims for increased initial ratings for right knee, left knee, cervical strain, and low back conditions were denied as the evidence did not support higher ratings.

The appeal was remanded to obtain SSA records relevant to the claims on appeal.

The veteran's claims for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, low back disorder, left elbow disorder, and right knee disorder were withdrawn. The ratings assigned for the left shoulder, left knee, and left foot disorders were denied.

The Veteran was denied a permanent and total disability rating for nonservice-connected pension purposes as he did not meet the criteria to be unemployable due to his disabilities.

The claims for increase of the Veteran's service-connected scars on the left shoulder, abdomen, and left knee and upper shin are being remanded to secure additional evidence and arrange an examination to determine their current severity.
