Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial evaluation higher than 10 percent for left knee osteoarthritis with limitation of flexion and an initial compensable evaluation for left knee osteoarthritis with limitation of extension due to a lack of compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because the prior VA examination did not comply with the required standards, including testing for range of motion during flare-ups and weightbearing conditions.
