Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee disabilities due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to address the Veteran's use of medication to treat her symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the October 2020 VA examination was inadequate because it did not address the Veteran's use of Tylenol to manage pain, which is relevant to assessing functional impairment and disability status.
