The Veteran's left knee disability, including extension and flexion, was restored to a 40% rating. A separate 10% rating for left knee flexion is granted.
The deciding factor: The VA determined that the Veteran's left knee disability warranted restoration of its previous rating due to procedural errors in reducing it from 40% to 10%. The Veteran was also awarded a separate rating for his left knee flexion.
