Dismissed
The appeal of the issue of entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent for lateral instability of the left knee was dismissed as a matter of law and at the Veteran's own request.
The deciding factor: The December 23, 2024 AOJ rating decision effectuating the Board's grant of a separate 20 percent rating for lateral instability of the left knee is not appealable to the Board, and the Veteran withdrew all pending claims in written correspondence received on September 12, 2025.
