Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 20, 2005 for the grant of a 10 percent disability rating for a right knee disability but denied earlier effective dates and higher ratings for other conditions.
The deciding factor: The increase in the right knee disability was factually ascertainable as of January 20, 2005, while there is no evidence to support an earlier effective date or higher rating for BPH.
