Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected right knee disability, which includes Baker's cyst, strain, and degenerative arthritis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee flexion was limited but noncompensable under Diagnostic Code 5260 throughout the period on appeal. His right knee extension was limited to 10 degrees at worst, which is what is required for a compensable rating of 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 5261.
