Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the right knee scar beginning February 2, 2018, and denied increased ratings under Diagnostic Codes 7804 and 7805. The Board also granted service connection for a left knee condition secondary to the service-connected right knee condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee scar became painful on or after February 2, 2018, warranting a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7804, while no higher rating was warranted. The Board found that the left knee condition was secondary to the service-connected right knee condition.
