Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee disability prior to March 18, 2024, and a rating in excess of 30 percent beginning on that date. The Board also denied a higher rating for the Veteran's right knee impairment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sufficient limitation of motion or other disabling symptomatology to warrant a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
