Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for left and right knee instability and limitation of flexion due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The January 2021 VA examiner's findings were deemed insufficient as they did not adequately address the Veteran's reports of pain, functional loss, and knee buckles.
