Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected headaches are granted a 30 percent rating; left knee strain and left hip strains are denied compensable ratings.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the criteria for a 30 percent rating for headaches, but does not meet the criteria for higher or separate ratings for the other conditions.
