Partly granted
The Veteran's right knee condition was denied a higher rating for limitation of extension and flexion prior to September 16, 2025, but granted a separate 10 percent rating for limitation of flexion from that date. The Veteran also received a separate 10 percent rating for instability.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's right knee condition did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to limited extension and flexion prior to September 16, 2025, but granted a separate 10 percent rating based on daily severe flareups from that date. The instability was also rated at 10 percent.
