Partly granted
The veteran is granted a 10 percent rating for right knee instability but the claim for a higher rating due to degenerative arthritis is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supports a 10 percent rating based on the Veteran's symptoms and use of a brace, but a remand was necessary to obtain an adequate examination for the higher rating claim.
