Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an increased rating for left knee flexion limitation and a separate rating for left knee extension limitation was denied. However, the veteran was granted a separate 10 percent rating for left knee instability and service connection for irritable bowel syndrome.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evaluation of medical evidence and the application of VA's Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
