Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded for an addendum opinion to address flare-ups and associated range of motion limitations, as well as to obtain private treatment records and a TDIU claim.
The deciding factor: The May 2017 examination report did not adequately elicit information regarding flare-ups, so an addendum opinion is required.
