Partly granted
The Board granted increased ratings for the Veteran's right and left knee limited extension and instability but denied increased ratings for right and left knee limited flexion.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that his knee disabilities met or approximated the criteria for higher ratings throughout the review period.
