Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's case to obtain outstanding VA treatment records and schedule another VA examination to evaluate the severity of his service-connected left and right knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 examination was insufficient to render an informed decision on the issue of awarding a separate rating for recurrent subluxation or instability in either or both knees.
