Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for bilateral knee disabilities, including instability, and a TDIU due to an inadequate examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were remanded because the previous VA examinations did not adequately address his symptoms during flare-ups and did not provide sufficient information regarding knee instability and scarring.
