Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability rating for left knee instability from February 26, 2015, but denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for left knee enthesopathy and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee instability was found to be moderate, warranting a separate 20 percent rating. However, the evidence did not support a higher rating for his left knee enthesopathy or a TDIU based on his service-connected disabilities alone.
