Partly granted
The Board granted separate disability ratings of 30 percent for right and left knee DJD with limitation of extension, but no higher, from April 20, 2022, to August 29, 2023, while denying increased ratings in excess of 10 percent for the same conditions prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a higher rating than those already assigned beginning August 30, 2023, due to the limitations of flexion and extension in both knees.
