Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for his left knee scar, as it does not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not show that the Veteran's left knee scar was at least 929 square centimeters in surface area or greater, which is required for a compensable rating under DC 7802.
