Partly granted
The Board denied higher ratings for the Veteran's right and left knee arthritis, but granted a 30 percent rating for left knee instability and a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating based on limitation of flexion or extension, but the Veteran's severe instability in his left knee warranted a higher rating.
