Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to ratings in excess of 10 percent for lumbar, right knee, and left knee disorders due to inconsistencies between the Veteran's lay statements and examination findings.
The deciding factor: The inconsistency between the Veteran's reported functional impairment and the examination findings necessitates additional examinations to address flare-ups and functional loss during flare-ups.
