Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the right knee disorder based on limitation of motion but granted a separate 10 percent rating for lateral instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee condition was found to have slight lateral instability, warranting a separate 10 percent rating under DC 5257. However, the evidence did not support a higher rating based on limitation of motion.
