Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for left knee conditions was granted with an effective date of October 27, 2019. However, the claim for a compensable disability rating for a surgical scar was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the association of relevant military personnel records with the file in February 2023, which triggered a reconsideration of the veteran's initial claim.
