Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's right and left knee disabilities, except for a separate 10 percent rating for right knee extension from November 4, 2021, and a 10 percent rating for left knee flexion from the same date.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the findings of the VA examinations that did not show sufficient evidence to warrant higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
