Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for right knee instability prior to October 14, 2018, and remanded the matter of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent prior to August 3, 2023, for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability was manifested by no more than moderate instability, which did not warrant a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5257.
