Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected right knee disability, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability was found to be consistent with noncompensable ratings for flexion and extension. Instability was also denied as there was no evidence of persistent instability or a prescription for an assistive device.
