Partly granted
The veteran's ratings for right knee limitation of extension and instability were restored to 20% effective June 27, 2022. The rating for right knee limitation of flexion was increased to 30%. Issues regarding service connection for left hip, right hip, and right ankle conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions had not improved, making the reduction in ratings improper.
