Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for higher ratings of left knee conditions due to inadequate examinations and missing information. The case will be reviewed again after further medical evaluations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate because it lacked a retrospective opinion on the severity of the Veteran's left knee disability during flare-ups.
