The Board granted a separate rating of 20 percent from July 16, 2019, to November 22, 2021, for right knee dislocated semilunar cartilage and denied an increased rating greater than 10 percent for right knee painful motion with arthritis prior to November 22, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a separate 20 percent rating under DC 5258 for the Veteran's meniscal tear with partial meniscectomy from July 16, 2019, to November 22, 2021, but did not meet the criteria for an increased rating greater than 10 percent for right knee painful motion with arthritis prior to November 22, 2021.
