Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for initial compensable ratings for right and left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, manifested by limitation of extension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's patellofemoral pain syndrome caused limitation of extension greater than 5 degrees in either knee, even with consideration of flare-ups or repeated use over time.
