Partly granted
The Veteran's right knee disability was granted a rating of 50 percent, but no higher, for limitation of extension. TDIU was also granted due to the inability to secure and follow substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's pain in extension manifested significant functional impairment equivalent to loss of motion; specifically, extension limited to 45 degrees.
