Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased disability evaluations and TDIU due to insufficient evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's service-connected right knee conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations provided were found inadequate, as they did not address the severity and manifestations of the Veteran's right knee chondromalacia and total arthroplasty for the relevant periods, nor did they provide sufficient information to determine the appropriate disability ratings.
