Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent initial rating for right knee strain, limitation of extension and a 20 percent initial rating for right knee strain, subluxation. The claim for an initial rating higher than 50 percent for headaches was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were found to be adequately compensated by the maximum 50 percent evaluation under DC 8100, while his right knee strain warranted a 20 percent rating for subluxation and a noncompensable rating for limitation of flexion based on the evidence provided.
