Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial compensable rating and a higher rating for his right knee disability, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the current severity of his condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's right knee limitation of extension and status-post meniscectomy, right knee strain with osteoarthritis were not shown to be more severe than currently rated under the applicable diagnostic codes.
