The Board granted readjudication of the previously denied claims for service connection for left and right ankle degenerative diseases based on new and relevant evidence, but denied increased ratings for the Veteran's left knee strain.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the finding that new and relevant evidence had been submitted to warrant a readjudication of the claims for service connection for bilateral ankle conditions. The denial of increased ratings for the left knee was due to the lack of sufficient limitation in flexion or extension to warrant a higher rating.
