Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for left and right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and lumbosacral strain and levoscoliosis, finding that the evidence did not support a compensable disability rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not show limitation of motion more nearly approximating flexion limited to 30 degrees for the knees or forward flexion of the thoracolumbar spine to 30 degrees or less for the lumbosacral strain and levoscoliosis, which are required for a compensable rating.
