The Board has denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection for her right knee, left knee, and right shoulder disabilities. The RO previously granted service connection for residuals of a right knee injury but did not assign an effective date or rate it appropriately.

The deciding factor: The evidence does not support granting higher ratings based on instability or arthritis in the right knee, nor does it support service connection for a left knee disability or residuals of a shoulder dislocation.
