Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to determine the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected right knee disability, as the previous examination did not meet the requirements under Correia v. McDonald.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examination was inadequate because it did not provide full range of motion testing results and was internally inconsistent, in accordance with the requirements set by Correia v. McDonald.
