Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 20 percent rating for left knee disability with dislocated semilunar cartilage from April 25, 2016, to June 16, 2020, and a 10 percent rating for left knee disability with removal of semilunar cartilage from June 17, 2020, to June 7, 2021. The Veteran was also granted service connection for a left knee scar.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the findings that the Veteran's left knee disability met the criteria for the assigned ratings and service connection for the scar from August 21, 2013, was warranted.
