The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's knee and ankle disabilities, as well as an initial compensable rating for a bilateral eye condition.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a conclusion that the loss of motion in the right or left knee more nearly approximated the criteria for a rating in excess of 10 percent. Similarly, there was no basis to grant increased ratings for the ankle disabilities or an initial compensable rating for the eye condition.
