The Veteran's Osgood-Schlatter's Disease of the bilateral knees is rated at 10 percent each, and no higher. The Board has remanded for further development regarding service connection for other conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show any compensable limitation of motion or functional impairment that would warrant a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic code.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Veteran's left knee disability was denied for ratings in excess of the currently assigned 10 percent and 30 percent prior to February 18, 2020 and beginning on that date respectively.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for Osgood-Schlatter's Disease and arthritis of the bilateral knees, finding that there was no clear and unmistakable evidence of pre-existing OSD and that it did not become aggravated during service. The arthritis of the knees is also not presumed to have been incurred in service.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case for further development to address whether the Veteran now has epiphyseal aseptic necrosis of the tibial tubercles, which could be indicative of active Osgood-Schlatter's Disease. The claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and arthritis of the knees are also pending as they may be related to OSD.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development including obtaining medical records and scheduling a VA examination to assess the severity of his service-connected right knee disability.
