Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings for right knee disabilities due to insufficient medical evidence regarding their severity in an unmedicated state.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence of record as to the severity of the disabilities in the absence of medication, requiring a medical opinion discounting the beneficial effects of medications and re-evaluation of the disabilities without medication.
