Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the award of separate 20 percent and 10 percent disability ratings for right knee extension and instability, respectively.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence showing symptoms warranting separate compensable disability ratings between September 23, 2020, and November 29, 2022, the date of the VA examination that provided the first evidence supporting the assignment of these ratings.
