Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for compensable disability ratings for his right and left knee surgical scars, finding no objective evidence of painful or unstable scars.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that none of the Veteran's scars were painful or unstable, and their findings outweighed the Veteran's self-reported pain.
