Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to obtain a retrospective medical opinion regarding the severity of the veteran's knee disabilities as of April 29, 2022. The clinician must review specific VA examination reports and address the frequency, severity, and duration of symptoms without medication.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not comply with the March 2024 remand directives, requiring a new remand.
