Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for the left little finger disability and remanded claims for service connection for back, left knee, and right knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The maximum schedular rating has already been assigned for the left little finger disability. Remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors with the January 2021 VA examinations for the other claims.
