Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's cervical strain, right knee flexion and extension, and low back disabilities but granted a separate 10 percent rating for instability in the right ankle.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the limited range of motion and lack of evidence supporting higher ratings under applicable criteria.
