Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a scar of the right foot and an evaluation of 10 percent, and no greater, effective September 14, 2022, for left knee instability. Other claims were denied or dismissed.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of credible evidence supporting in-service incurrence or aggravation of the claimed conditions, as well as the current severity of the disabilities.
