Partly granted
The Board granted a separate initial rating of 10 percent for right knee recurrent instability from November 1, 2022, but denied an increased rating in excess of 10 percent for the right knee strain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee strain did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on limitation of motion, while his right knee recurrent instability warranted a separate 10 percent rating without a prescription from a medical provider for an assistive device.
