Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an earlier effective date of May 19, 2015 for the grant of service connection for right knee strain. The claim for a higher initial rating and TDIU was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right knee disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on the evidence provided during the appeal period, but granted an earlier effective date due to the pending May 19, 2015 claim.
