Denied
The Board denied a separate compensable rating for right knee instability as the evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected right knee disability was manifested by instability during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The lack of consistent reports and medical evidence showing right knee instability, despite multiple examinations, led to the denial of a separate rating under Diagnostic Code 5257.
