Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 20 percent for the Veteran's left knee disability (painful limitation of motion and patellar subluxation) but denied a higher rating for hypertension. The issue of entitlement to a TDIU was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms, including pain, weakness, and functional impairment, which more closely approximated moderate instability and limitation of extension to 15 degrees during the review period.
