Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the right and left knee disabilities, granted a 20 percent rating for the right knee meniscal tear prior to February 18, 2016, dismissed TDIU, and denied special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record showing that higher ratings were not warranted under applicable diagnostic codes.
