Partly granted
The Board denied ratings in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right and left knee disabilities prior to December 2, 2024, but granted separate 10 percent ratings for instability associated with both knees.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's knee disabilities met the criteria for higher ratings under the applicable rating codes.
