Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for slight right knee instability but denied ratings in excess of 20 percent and 10 percent for the torn meniscus and degenerative joint disease, respectively.
The deciding factor: The assigned ratings adequately compensated the Veteran's functional impairments related to his right knee disability during the appeal period.
