Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's bilateral foot, left ankle, right ankle, and right knee disabilities but granted a separate 30 percent rating for right knee limited extension and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's conditions warranted higher ratings based on the criteria in the VA Rating Schedule.
