Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee meniscal tear and DJD, an initial rating in excess of 20 percent from April 19, 2023, for right knee limitation of extension, a separate rating for right knee limitation of extension prior to April 19, 2023, an initial rating in excess of 10 percent from April 19, 2023, for right knee instability associated with meniscal tear and DJD, and a separate rating for right knee instability prior to April 19, 2023, as the Board erred by failing to obtain an adequate examination in adjudicating the Veteran's right knee disability claim.
The deciding factor: The remand is required due to the Board's error in not obtaining an adequate examination and to comply with the terms of a Joint Motion for Partial Remand (JMPR).
