Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher initial rating for his service-connected right knee strain, as the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee flexion disability was found to be manifested in painful motion but not in flexion limited to 30 degrees or worse, which is required for a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
