The Board has determined that the veteran's left knee disability, characterized as osteoarthrosis, warrants a 20 percent evaluation. The evidence shows significant pain and limited motion in both knees, but no instability or severe impairment.
The deciding factor: The veteran's left knee disability is primarily characterized by arthritis with some limitation of motion, which does not meet the criteria for higher ratings under other applicable diagnostic codes.
