Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for left and right knee disabilities due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to address flare-ups.
The deciding factor: Remand is required as the December 2024 VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's functional loss during flare-ups, which was previously directed by the Board and Court.
