Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for right and left knee strain but granted a separate 10 percent rating for left knee instability.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support persistent right knee instability, while there was sufficient evidence to grant a separate 10 percent rating for left knee instability based on persistent instability without a prescription from a medical provider for an assistive device.
