Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support higher disability ratings or service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on pain or limited motion, lateral meniscus tear, or post-surgical residuals. The Board found no additional functional loss during flare-ups to warrant a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
