The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for psychiatric disability and remanded the issues of increased ratings for right knee limitation of extension, right knee instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity, frequency, and duration being more closely approximating occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity. The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of a higher rating at any time during the appeal period.
