Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for a thirteen-month temporary total rating based on left total knee replacement. The decision was based on regulatory changes that prescribe a four-month period for such ratings.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the current rating criteria set forth in 38 C.F.R. § 4.71a, Diagnostic Code (DC) 5055.
