Granted
The Board granted an initial 20 percent rating for the Veteran's right knee disability, including arthritis.
The deciding factor: The record shows a diagnosis of right medial and lateral meniscus tears with episodes of 'locking,' pain, and effusion into the joint, warranting a 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5258.
