Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 10 percent rating for recurrent instability of the left knee from April 3, 2022, but denied an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for left knee chondromalacia with osteoarthritis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee disability was found to have recurrent patellar instability from April 3, 2022, warranting a separate 10 percent rating, but the evidence did not support an increased rating based on limitation of flexion for the entire appeal period.
