Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for left and right patellofemoral pain syndrome, and remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's knee conditions had manifested as limitation of flexion to 30 degrees or less. The Board also found that the October 2023 VA medical opinion was inadequate and remanded the claim for service connection for sleep apnea.
