Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for the right knee based on limitation of flexion but granted a separate 20 percent rating for semilunar cartilage.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee disability was not shown to meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5260, but did warrant a separate 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5258 due to semilunar cartilage issues.
