Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's knee disabilities, except for granting a 10 percent rating for left and right knee meniscal conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to limited flexion and instability, but did support separate ratings for post-operative meniscal conditions.
