Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee degenerative arthritis and a rating of 30 percent for left knee joint instability, while remanding other issues.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee degenerative arthritis was found to be a progression of his service-connected condition, and the severity of his left knee instability warranted a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
