Partly granted
The Board denied ratings higher than 10 percent for degenerative joint disease of the right and left knee, but granted a separate 10 percent rating for slight instability of the left knee.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's knee conditions did not meet the criteria for increased ratings due to limitation of motion, but there was evidence of slight instability in the left knee that warranted a separate rating.
