Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's right and left knee disabilities but granted separate 10 percent evaluations for instability in both knees.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating due to limited flexion, while slight instability was present throughout the appeal period, warranting a separate 10 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Code 5257.
