The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right knee disability and remanded the service connection claim for cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support finding that the Veteran's right knee disability manifested by flexion limited to 45 degrees or less, nor treatment required for no less than 12 consecutive months and unresponsive to either shoe orthotics or other conservative treatment, one or both lower extremities.
