Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee arthritis and instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee arthritis and instability did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to limited range of motion and occasional symptoms, but no evidence of severe impairment or functional loss that would warrant a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
