Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for the Veteran's left knee meniscal disability and denied a separate disability rating in excess of 10 percent for painful motion of the left knee.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, including pain, locking, and effusion into the joint, warranted a higher rating under DC 5258, but no additional functional loss was found to warrant a higher rating under DC 5260 or 5261.
