The Board denied an increased evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee disability, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability was manifested by pain and painful motion, with no objective evidence of more severe impairment such as ankylosis. The current 10 percent rating accurately reflects the severity of his condition based on the applicable rating criteria.
