The Board denied the veteran's request for a higher disability rating for both right and left knee strains, concluding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms and functional loss did not result in limitation of motion more nearly approximating flexion limited to 30 degrees, which is required for a higher rating.
