Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for right and left knee disabilities due to a need for further development, specifically obtaining updated VA treatment records and scheduling a new examination that complies with specific range of motion requirements.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure compliance with the Court-endorsed Joint Motion for Partial Remand (JMPR II) regarding the adequacy of the September 2023 VA examination report on weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing range of motion measurements.
