The appeal for service connection for a left knee disability was dismissed as the claim was granted by the agency of original jurisdiction prior to the Board's decision, making it moot. The remaining claims were remanded due to inadequate medical opinions regarding flare-up effects on range of motion.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left knee disability was granted by the agency of original jurisdiction prior to the Board's decision, making it moot. For the remaining claims, the Board found the medical opinions regarding flare-up effects on range of motion inadequate and required additional clarification.
