Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for left knee joint osteoarthritis, status post meniscal tear with partial meniscectomy and remanded the claim for entitlement to TDIU, to include on an extraschedular basis, prior to February 17, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5261, as his limitation of extension was only 10-14 degrees. The Board also found that separate ratings were not warranted based on overlapping symptomology with his current rating.
