Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 10 percent for left knee strain and granted an initial 60 percent rating for dermatographism dermatitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's range of motion in the left knee did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while his dermatographism dermatitis required constant or near-constant systemic antihistamine treatment.
