Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a left knee condition and increased ratings for left hip trochanteric bursitis due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions provided were found inadequate as they did not address aggravation or discount the beneficial effects of medication, which are required under current legal standards.
