Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the right knee disability, as the Veteran's right knee disability manifested in no greater than extension limited to 20 degrees.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the limitation of right knee extension to no more than 20 degrees, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
