Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable evaluation for right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for lumbosacral strain due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain new examinations that address the Veteran's reported symptoms and exclude the ameliorative effects of medication on the severity of his service-connected disabilities.
