Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for higher ratings for his service-connected knee disabilities, entitlement to a TDIU, and an earlier effective date for DEA prior to September 5, 2014, due to incomplete development of evidence.
The deciding factor: Incomplete addendum opinions were provided by the VA examiners, necessitating further development to ensure compliance with Board directives.
