Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for left knee instability from March 3, 2015.
The deciding factor: The worsening of the Veteran's left knee instability was factually ascertainable within one year prior to his increased rating claim in March 2016, and the evidence supports a finding that it more closely approximated severe instability requiring a brace for ambulation.
