Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 30 percent disability rating for left knee strain, finding that the AOJ's reduction was improper and void ab initio.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to provide proper notice and did not afford the Veteran the opportunity to present additional evidence before reducing his rating.
