Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an effective date prior to February 12, 2021, for service connection of right and left knee instability as well as special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria due to an inadequate medical examination report.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 medical examination report is found to be inadequate to determine when the Veteran's bilateral knee instability disability arose.
