Granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for left knee strain residuals of instability was granted, and they are now entitled to an initial 30 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's complete ligament tear repair was unsuccessful, and thus the criteria for a 30 percent rating were met.
