Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee instability prior to February 7, 2021, and granted a 20 percent rating from that date. The Board also denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's RLE radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the degree of instability and the presence of a prescription for an assistive device after February 7, 2021, as well as the mild nature of the radiculopathy symptoms.
