The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for her right knee disabilities, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability was found to be manifested by flexion limited to 50 degrees and extension limited to 5 degrees, which did not warrant a higher rating. The recurrent subluxation and instability also did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as no assistive device or bracing was prescribed.
