Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for right knee disabilities and a TDIU prior to March 13, 2020 due to incomplete compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: There has not been substantial compliance with the January 2025 remand directives, as relevant records have not been obtained from DOL, OPM, and SSA, and private physical therapy records have not been requested.
