The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a left knee disorder to obtain an additional VA examination that complies with Correia and includes range of motion testing and measurements in specific areas.
The deciding factor: The August 2021 and December 2021 VA examinations did not substantially comply with the Board's remand directive, as they did not include all required range of motion measurements.

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.
