Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial rating more than 10 percent for left and right knee strain due to insufficient information regarding the Veteran's disability picture without the beneficial effects of medication.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence was obtained to determine the severity of the Veteran's bilateral knee disabilities without the beneficial effects of his medications, as required by recent legal precedent.
