Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for right knee instability but granted a rating of 20 percent for right knee instability.
The deciding factor: The lack of formal or informal claims prior to March 30, 2021, and the application of the relevant regulations did not support an earlier effective date. However, the evidence supported a 20 percent rating for right knee instability.
