Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for a right knee scar was denied. The claims for higher ratings for left and right knee conditions were remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right knee scar did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, and the VA examinations for the knee conditions were inadequate.
