Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating greater than 10 percent for right knee degenerative joint disease and an initial compensable evaluation for service-connected residual scars status-post right knee diagnostic arthroscopy.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran's flexion or extension of his right knee warranted a higher rating, nor was there any indication of other symptoms that would warrant a compensable rating under DC 7805 for residual scars.
