Although the PEB adjudicated “bilateral knee” as the unfitting condition, the record of proceedings reflects separate codes and ratings for each knee, with application of the bilateral factor in computing the combined rating, which is consistent with VASRD standards. No other conditions were service-connected with a compensable rating by the VA within 12 months of separation or contended by the CI. Exhibit C. Department of Veterans Affairs Treatment Record
