Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's left knee and left shoulder disabilities, but granted a 10 percent rating for his bilateral tinea pedis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show sufficient limitation of motion or other symptoms to warrant higher ratings under applicable criteria.
