Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the left knee condition but granted a separate 10 percent rating for instability, and remanded claims for service connection for hearing loss in both ears.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the left knee disability and the presence of recurrent instability, as well as the need for further development regarding the hearing loss claims.
