Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for right knee degenerative arthritis was denied. The claim for TDIU prior to July 5, 2021, was also denied, but the claim for TDIU from July 5, 2021, was dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The veteran's right knee disability did not equate to limitation of flexion to 30 degrees, which is required to warrant a 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5260.
