Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to address the severity of the service-connected left knee disability, as the previous examination was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 VA examination was deemed inadequate due to its failure to address evidence of a meniscal tear and symptoms of buckling or locking in the left knee.
