The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for an increased rating for his right knee disability and for a TDIU due to service-connected disabilities. The claims are being remanded because of inadequate VA examinations, including those related to the right knee.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations were deemed inadequate by the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) and the Board has ordered new examinations to address these issues.

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.
