Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an effective date prior to April 25, 2022, for a 20 percent evaluation for service-connected right knee instability due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the June 2021 VA examination is inadequate as it fails to address relevant treatment records and does not provide information to assess the severity of the Veteran's right knee instability during the one-year look-back period.
