The Board denied evaluations in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's left and right knee limitations of extension, as the evidence showed that these limitations were no worse than an extension endpoint of 10 degrees with pain on motion.

The deciding factor: The limitation of extension was not found to be more severe than 10 degrees in either knee, which did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation under the applicable rating schedule.
