Partly granted
The Board granted a separate disability rating of 20 percent for the Veteran's service-connected patellofemoral syndrome of the left knee with limitation of extension from October 1, 2008 to August 11, 2017, but denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent during that same period.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the extent of limitation of flexion and extension as supported by medical evidence.
