Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development and clarification regarding the severity of the Veteran's left knee and right knee disabilities, specifically to determine if the Veteran has experienced 'the functional equivalent of range of motion loss contemplated by the next higher rating' at any point during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to a previous error in the Board's decision not explaining how the Veteran's symptoms were compensated and why they were not the functional equivalent of range of motion loss for a higher rating.
