Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new examination to accurately evaluate the severity of the Veteran's left knee strain, considering the ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: The record does not contain sufficient information to allow the Board to accurately evaluate the severity of the Veteran's disability without consideration of the ameliorative effects of medication.
