Partly granted
The Board granted a 60 percent disability rating for the Veteran's left knee injury post-replacement from March 6, 2024, and a 10 percent disability rating for her left knee replacement residual scar. The initial ratings in excess of 10 percent for the left knee disability prior to March 6, 2024, were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left knee injury post-replacement was found to have chronic residuals consisting of severe weakness, warranting a 60 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5055. The scar on the left knee was determined to be painful and warranted a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7804.
