Remanded (sent back)
The claims for a higher rating for the right knee under DC 5257 and DC 5258 for the period prior to June 23, 2015 are remanded due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate because it did not provide sufficient detail or explanation regarding the Veteran's range of motion during flares and after repetitive use, as well as lateral instability.
