Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 15, 2013, but no earlier, for the award of service connection for right knee limitation of extension and denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee DJD with limitation of flexion.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the earliest date when limited right knee extension was first noted, which was May 15, 2013, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
