Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's left knee subluxation and denied a higher rating for degenerative joint disease, while remanding the issue of entitlement to total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of subluxation and the lack of evidence supporting a higher rating for degenerative joint disease.
