The Board denied a rating higher than 20 percent for right knee limitation of motion but granted a separate 10 percent rating, but no higher, for right knee instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of persistent instability with a prescription from a medical provider for an assistive device for ambulation supported the grant of a separate 10 percent rating, but no higher, for right knee instability. However, his range of motion did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
