Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for psoriasis and knee disabilities but granted a 60% rating from May 4, 2022, and 20% ratings from March 30, 2022, to May 4, 2022, for the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms as documented in medical examinations and statements, which did not meet the criteria for higher ratings under applicable regulations.
