Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for right knee strain with limitation of flexion and granted a separate 10 percent rating for right knee instability. The claims for increased ratings for GERD and left lower extremity radiculopathy were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of more severe disability than currently rated, but there was slight instability in the right knee that warranted a separate 10 percent rating.
