Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased initial ratings for left flatfoot, left knee strain, right knee limitation of flexion, and right and left knee limitations of extension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any of the Veteran's service-connected knee or foot disabilities warranted an increased rating beyond their current noncompensable levels.
