Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for his bilateral knee disabilities due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Inadequate VA examinations failed to provide weight bearing and non-weight bearing range of motion assessments, and did not state whether the Veteran would experience additional functional impairment without the use of medications.
