Granted
The Veteran was granted a TDIU on an extraschedular basis from July 31, 2015 to October 23, 2017 and for the period from December 1, 2018. The claim for a rating in excess of 60 percent for residuals of a total left knee replacement under DC 5055 for the period from December 1, 2018 was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence suggests that the Veteran's service-connected left knee disabilities and an acquired psychiatric disorder affected his ability to maintain substantially gainful employment.
