Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 40 percent rating for right knee limitation of extension prior to December 7, 2010, and a separate 20 percent rating prior to February 7, 2021, for right knee instability. The ratings in excess of the assigned percentages were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's right knee disorder met the criteria for higher ratings during certain periods, but not others.
