Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's left knee strain, limitation of extension, as the evidence did not support a higher disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's range of motion was within the criteria for a noncompensable evaluation; therefore, a rating in excess of 10 percent is not warranted.
