Partly granted
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for his right and left knee conditions, but granted a separate 10 percent rating for right knee instability and a separate 20 percent rating for left knee instability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms as documented in medical records and examinations, with particular emphasis on the presence of instability in both knees.
