Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a separate 20 percent evaluation for left knee IT band syndrome with limitation of flexion from June 14, 2024 to the present and denied an initial evaluation in excess of 30 percent for left knee IT band syndrome with limitation of extension.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that his left knee IT band syndrome more closely approximated flexion limited to 30 degrees from June 14, 2024 to the present.
