Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating more than 10 percent for right knee degenerative arthritis, to include period(s) of convalescence, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is required as the AOJ failed to obtain an updated VA examination to assess the Veteran's current level of disability since July 2018.
