The Board remands the claims for increased disability ratings for the Veteran's service-connected left femur fracture residuals to obtain an adequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate evidence of pain, fatigability, weakness, lack of endurance, or incoordination significantly limiting functional ability with repeated use over time and a failure to estimate such functional loss in terms of degrees of loss of range of motion.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for right eye photophobia and residuals of left femur fracture, secondary to service-connected bilateral eye photophobia.,Both conditions are found to be related to the Veteran's active duty service.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected left knee disability is found to be the primary cause of his residuals of left femur fracture and left ankle sprain. The issues regarding rating for degenerative joint disease of the left knee, limitation of flexion of the left knee, and left ankle sprain with degenerative joint disease are remanded for further evaluation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including new VA examinations and the provision of secondary service connection notice. The claims for a compensable evaluation for residuals of left femur fracture, bilateral hip condition, and left knee condition are also being remanded.
- Denied
The Board has determined that there is no evidence to support a grant of service connection for left ear hearing loss, and the Veteran's current left ear hearing loss disability was not shown during service or within one year after separation. The VA examinations did not find a causal relationship between his current left ear hearing loss and military service.
