Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for the Veteran's right knee scar, but remanded the claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent for right total knee replacement since September 1, 2019.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the painful and unstable nature of the right knee scar, which met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 7804. The remand was necessary to obtain further information regarding the severity of the Veteran's right knee disability in the absence of medication.
