The veteran's claims for increased evaluations of tendonitis of the left knee and elbow were denied as they did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation based on current symptoms.
The deciding factor: The VA determined that the veteran's conditions, while painful, did not warrant an increase in disability rating beyond 10% due to lack of objective evidence of limitation of motion or instability sufficient to support a higher evaluation under relevant diagnostic codes.
