Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent disabling for a service-connected right knee disability, a compensable evaluation for a service-connected right knee residual surgical scars, and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to outstanding evidence and the need for additional examination.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that remand is needed in order to address duty to assist errors including obtaining relevant treatment records and conducting a new examination with specific instructions regarding pain, ROM, and medication effects.
