Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded for further adjudication, including a new VA examination to assess the Veteran's left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The probative value of the September 2024 VA examination is significantly reduced as it relies on a faulty factual basis, and the descriptions of impairment by the Veteran and his spouse at the hearing are at odds with the entirety of the record.
