Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a higher rating for their left knee scar, stating that the scar did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation or a higher evaluation due to pain.
The deciding factor: The scar was found to be less than 929 sq. cm. and not unstable, thus not meeting the criteria for a higher rating.
