Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for his left knee disability was granted, and the effective date for the award of a 30 percent rating for limited flexion in the left knee was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a 10 percent rating for left knee extension limitation but does not confirm an earlier effective date for the 30 percent rating due to increased flexion prior to March 29, 2024.
