Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for right shoulder strain and in excess of 10 percent for right knee strain to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The March 2020 VA examination reports are found to be inadequate due to apparent contradictions, necessitating clarification from the examiner.
