Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a higher rating for right knee flexion and a compensable rating for right knee extension due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examination did not comply with certain standards, making it unreliable and inconsistent. A new examination is required to address these issues.
