Remanded (sent back)

The veteran's claim for a separate disability rating for his service-connected right knee disability since January 6, 2020, is remanded because the examiner did not fully comply with the Board's instructions.

The deciding factor: The examiner failed to discuss the Veteran's knee instability across the entire period on appeal and did not review all relevant treatment records.
