Partly granted
The Board denied several claims for increased ratings and service connection, but granted some reductions in rating that were improperly made.
The deciding factor: Improper reduction of the Veteran's knee extension ratings was found due to a lack of evidence showing sustained improvement under ordinary conditions of life and work.
