The Board granted a 20 percent rating for duodenal ulcer from March 4, 2011 to September 27, 2018 and denied a higher rating. The Board also granted TDIU from June 26, 2018 to March 22, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's duodenal ulcer symptoms were more severe than those contemplated by the currently-assigned 10 percent rating but did not rise to the level of impairment in health required for a higher rating. The Board found that his right knee subluxation/lateral instability was moderate and did not warrant a rating in excess of 20 percent.
