Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for his right and left knee disabilities to ensure compliance with previous Court and Board remand instructions, specifically addressing the Veteran's reported symptoms of instability and flare-ups.
The deciding factor: The examinations provided did not adequately address the Veteran's reported symptoms of instability and flare-ups, necessitating a new examination to determine the current severity of his bilateral knee disabilities.
