Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of initial and increased ratings for right knee and left hip disabilities due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an examination that provides range of motion testing under active, passive, weight-bearing, non-weight bearing, repetitive use over time, flare-ups, and where pain begins on all of these range of motion tests.
