Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for the Veteran's right knee scars and remanded the claim for an increased rating of the service-connected right knee osteoarthritis due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination was found to be inadequate, as it did not provide sufficient rationale or specific examples from lay statements or medical evidence supporting its conclusions regarding the Veteran's range of motion during flare-ups and over time.
