Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection and increased ratings of bilateral knee, hip, foot conditions due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 VA examinations were found to be inadequate as they did not accurately reflect the Veteran's reported symptoms and functional impairment during flare-ups.
