Partly granted
The Board denied entitlement to ratings in excess of the current levels for right knee degenerative joint disease, right knee subluxation, and left knee meniscal tear. However, a 10 percent rating was granted for the right knee meniscectomy with residuals.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes; however, the current residual symptoms from the meniscectomy warranted a 10 percent rating.
