Granted
The veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 30% rating of service-connected scars on the right knee was granted, with an effective date no earlier than September 21, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran had five or more painful scars on the right knee since his surgeries in 2013 and 2015, warranting a 30 percent rating from September 21, 2017.
