Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a 10 percent evaluation for the Veteran's right knee disability and remanded the issue of an increased rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed ongoing painful motion, which supported a 10 percent evaluation under DC 5257. The September 2023 examination was found inadequate due to discrepancies in reported symptoms.
