Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher rating for right thigh impairment due to an inadequate examination and the need to address additional evidence.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examiner did not adequately document flare-ups, while the March 2025 examiner failed to consider reported functional loss. The Board also found that the examinations did not account for the effects of medication on the Veteran's symptoms.
