Partly granted
The Board granted a separate rating of 10 percent under Diagnostic Codes 5260 and 5257 for the Veteran's right knee disability, but denied an increased rating in excess of 20 percent under Diagnostic Code 5258.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5258 due to the lack of severe symptoms, while separate ratings were granted based on painful motion and instability.
