Denied
The Board denied increased disability ratings for the service-connected right knee arthritis with right shin splints, instability, meniscal disability, and surgical scars, as well as earlier effective dates for these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or an earlier effective date based on the current state of the Veteran's right knee disabilities.
