Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 60 percent for the Veteran's left knee disability and granted a separate compensable rating of 10 percent, but not higher, for left knee instability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability has remained consistent, with no evidence supporting a higher rating. However, there is evidence that he uses a cane constantly for his left knee instability, warranting a separate 10 percent rating.
