Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 10% for left knee degenerative joint disease. The decision was based on medical evidence showing that the veteran's knee condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's left knee disability did not exhibit flexion functionally limited to 30 degrees, which is required for a higher rating.
