Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased disability ratings for bilateral ankle and left knee disabilities due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examinations are found to be inadequate as they contain apparent contradictions and do not adequately address the Veteran's pain with repeated use over time, requiring further medical opinions.
