Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for right knee strain and instability but granted a separate 10 percent rating for right knee limitation of extension from November 25, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the criteria for higher ratings due to flexion or instability, but supported the criteria for a separate rating based on limitation of extension.
