Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased disability ratings for left and right knee arthritis due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the January 2023 VA examination report was inadequate because it did not provide sufficient reasoning, and the examiner's statement lacked necessary detail.
