Partly granted
The Board granted a uniform evaluation of 30 percent for right knee instability and remanded the issues of entitlement to a separate rating for right knee removal of meniscal cartilage and a total disability rating, including on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's severe right knee instability throughout the appeal period warranted a 30 percent evaluation, but no higher. The other issues were remanded due to insufficient evidence or procedural requirements not met.
