The Veteran's disability rating for left knee extension was reduced from 30 percent to 0 percent in November 2019. The Board has now restored the 30 percent rating, finding that the reduction was improper due to an inadequate examination report.
The deciding factor: The August 2019 VA examination did not provide sufficient information about the Veteran's left knee extension during flare-ups, which is required for a proper evaluation of her condition.
