Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for left knee patellar tendonitis and entitlement to TDIU due to an inadequate examination report.
The deciding factor: The August 2018 examination report was internally inconsistent and failed to adequately describe the functional impairment during flare-ups, which is required by law. The issue of TDIU is inextricably intertwined with the left knee claim.
