Partly granted
The Board granted a separate rating of 10 percent for limitation of left knee extension and dismissed the issue of a higher initial rating for the service-connected left knee scar. The remaining issues are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's testimony regarding his knee pain and functional limitations, along with medical evidence, supported the grant of a separate rating for left knee extension but did not provide sufficient information to support a higher rating for the left knee scar or address the other remanded issues.
