The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, as the evidence did not support higher ratings or service connection based on the current disability picture.

The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's knee flexion and extension were within non-compensable limits, and his left foot plantar fasciitis did not meet criteria for a compensable rating. The Board also denied service connection for a left hip disorder as there was no persuasive evidence to support it.
