Partly granted
The veteran's disability rating for left knee strain with degenerative arthritis was restored to 10 percent. Other issues related to the left knee and tinnitus were denied, while claims for genital herpes and right knee disability were remanded.
The deciding factor: The reduction in the rating assigned for left knee strain with degenerative arthritis based on limitation of extension from 10 percent to zero percent disabling effective August 25, 2022, was not warranted.
