The Board has granted service connection for erectile dysfunction due to a circumcision and assigned a 20% rating for instability of the right knee. The issue of an increased evaluation for limitation of motion of the right knee is remanded.
The deciding factor: The May 2006 VA examination report did not adequately address functional loss due to weakness, fatigability, incoordination, or pain on movement of the right knee as required by DeLuca v. Brown (1995).
