Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for right knee strain with limitation of flexion from November 18, 2014 and a 20 percent rating from March 3, 2021. A compensable rating for right knee strain with limitation of extension was denied. A 10 percent rating for right knee strain with patellar chondromalacia was granted from February 23, 2021, and a 50 percent rating for migraine headaches was granted from January 24, 2015.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the granting of higher ratings based on the Veteran's symptoms and functional limitations, but denied a compensable rating for right knee strain with limitation of extension and TDIU due to service-connected migraine headaches.
