The Board denied an initial compensable rating for a right knee scar and remanded the claims of entitlement to a higher rating for a right knee disability and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's right knee scar was painful or unstable, which are required for a compensable rating under DC 7804. The Board also found that remand was necessary to obtain additional information regarding the nature and severity of the Veteran's right knee disability without the ameliorative effects of medication.
