Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claims for restoration of a 30 percent rating and an initial compensable rating for right knee patellar tendinitis, finding that there was material improvement in his condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed material improvement in the appellant's right knee extension and flexion, which did not warrant restoration or assignment of a compensable rating.
