Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent, but no higher, for the Veteran's service-connected residual scars from surgeries of the right knee, left knee, and left wrist.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the three service-connected Scars were unstable, warranting a 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7804, but not greater.
