Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee strain and in excess of 20 percent for right knee instability, to include a compensable rating earlier than November 30, 2021, due to a need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the January 2024 VA opinion did not address whether the Veteran's symptomatology of the right knee disability had amounted to the functional equivalent of ankylosis as required by the November 2023 remand directives, necessitating another remand for an addendum opinion.
