Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent initial rating for left knee instability and right knee instability, denied higher ratings for left and right knee limitation of motion, and granted an earlier effective date for total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to maintain gainful employment during the entire period on appeal.
