The veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were remanded due to the need for further evaluation. The left knee disability is currently rated at 10 percent, while the left foot disability is also rated at 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support a higher rating based on current functional impairment or additional factors set forth in VA regulations.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
