Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for left shoulder and left knee disabilities, as well as a TDIU, due to an inadequate November 2018 VA examination report.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that new examinations are warranted to address the Veteran's range of motion during flare-ups and other functional loss symptoms.
