Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee disability and also denied a finding of total disability based on individual unemployability due to this disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's right knee disability warranted a higher rating or resulted in unemployability, as his range of motion was minimally limited and did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation under relevant diagnostic codes.
