The Board remands the issues of whether a reduction in rating for a left knee disability from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective September 6, 2024, was proper and entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for a left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the September 2024 VA examination is incomplete due to unclear medication use at the time of the examination, and remand is necessary to schedule the Veteran for an examination including range of motion measurements and/or estimates of range of motion that discounts any beneficial effects of medication.
