Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for higher ratings of the Veteran's right and left knee disabilities due to inadequate VA examination reports.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examiner did not record weight or non-weight-bearing range of motion measurements, which is required by Correia v. McDonald, 28 Vet. App. (2016).
