Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating and TDIU due to service-connected left knee conditions for further development, including obtaining additional medical evidence and scheduling a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to ensure that all relevant treatment records are associated with the claims file and to obtain a more current assessment of the Veteran's left knee condition.
