Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for right patellofemoral pain syndrome with knee and patellar instability was denied. The claims for service connection for right ankle and hip disabilities were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The veteran's other than honorable discharge bars VA compensation benefits, but the Board needs more medical evidence to decide on the ankle and hip issues.
