Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's bilateral knee conditions, except for granting a 20% rating for right and left knee meniscus conditions from October 8, 2020.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the findings that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for higher ratings during the relevant periods due to limited extension or dislocation of semilunar cartilage, with the exception of granting a 20% rating for meniscus conditions from October 8, 2020.
