Granted
The Board granted increased ratings for the Veteran's left knee conditions, including a 30 percent rating for limitation of flexion, a separate 40 percent rating for limitation of extension from June 21, 2010, and a 30 percent rating for instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee condition more closely approximates the criteria for higher ratings based on limited motion and instability during flare-ups and with repeated use over time.
