Partly granted
The Board granted a separate disability rating of 30 percent for left knee degenerative arthritis (limitation of extension) from April 7, 2021, to January 23, 2023, and a separate disability rating of 20 percent for moderate subluxation and instability from April 7, 2021, to January 9, 2023. The claim for an increased rating for left knee degenerative arthritis (limitation of flexion) was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a separate disability rating based on limitation of extension and subluxation and instability, but not for the limitation of flexion beyond the current 10 percent rating.
