Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's right knee conditions, finding that the evidence did not support a higher evaluation based on limitation of motion or instability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's right knee flexion was not limited to 30 degrees or less and there was no severe recurrent subluxation or lateral instability requiring an assistive device for ambulation.
