Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee degenerative arthritis and denied initial compensable ratings for sarcoidosis, a scar, status post left ankle surgery, and remanded several other claims.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting a compensable rating for sarcoidosis and the Veteran's representative's assertions regarding the painful nature of his scar not being supported by the clinical findings.
