Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee instability as there was no evidence that required a prescription from a medical provider for an assistive device to assist with knee instability during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced recurrent subluxation or persistent instability, but not recurrent patellar instability, and did not require a prescription for a brace, cane, crutches, or walker for ambulation.
