Partly granted
The Veteran's left knee fibular shaft disability was granted a rating of 10 percent prior to May 24, 2022, and 20 percent from that date. The Board also remanded the issue of an initial rating higher than 30 percent for left upper extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability was staged based on the severity of symptoms, with a 10 percent rating prior to May 24, 2022, and a 20 percent rating from that date due to moderate knee or ankle disability.
