Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for higher ratings of the Veteran's service-connected left and right knee disabilities due to inadequate VA examinations that failed to address functional loss during flare-ups or repetitive use over time.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's reported limitations during flare-ups and following repetitive use, failing to provide additional range of motion estimates in these contexts.
