Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for her service-connected bilateral knee disabilities, finding that the evidence did not support a compensable disability rating.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of objective findings indicating muscle atrophy, ankylosis, recurrent subluxation, lateral instability, or recurrent effusion, and the limitations in range of motion were not sufficient to warrant higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
