Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for left knee dislocated semilunar cartilage from February 1, 2023, and also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions worsened to include catching, clicking, and edema, which were not adequately compensated by the previous ratings.
