Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings in excess of 10 percent for left knee, right knee, and left foot disabilities to ensure that VA's duty to assist is properly fulfilled.
The deciding factor: The examinations are found inadequate due to missing information on passive motion, non-weight-bearing conditions, and flare-ups, necessitating retrospective opinions or additional medical evidence.
