Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 10 percent rating for pain with extension of the right and left knees, effective November 10, 2022, but denied ratings in excess of 10 percent for limitation of flexion of both knees.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's knee disability was found to be manifested by painful flexion limited to no less than 110 degrees and painful extension since November 10, 2022, which warranted a separate rating but not an increased one for the flexion limitation.
