Remanded (sent back)

The Board remanded the veteran's claim for a higher rating of left knee arthritis due to insufficient medical opinions. The Board needs more information on the severity of the condition during specific periods.

The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the retrospective opinions obtained did not substantially comply with prior remand directives, necessitating further development.
