Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent disability rating for right knee instability and a separate 20 percent disability rating for right knee locking, pain, and joint effusion, while denying increased ratings for limitation of flexion and extension. The Veteran was also granted a TDIU from October 18, 2010.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported separate ratings for instability and locking but did not meet the criteria for higher ratings for flexion and extension limitations.
