Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 10% for right knee osteoarthritis. The decision was based on the veteran's range of motion and lack of additional functional loss.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee flexion was limited to, at most, 70 degrees, and extension to 5 degrees, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
