The Board denied increased ratings for left and right patellofemoral pain syndrome but granted service connection for binge eating disorder.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of additional functional loss or a current diagnosis of ankylosis in the knees, while there was sufficient evidence to establish a diagnosis of binge eating disorder during active service.
