Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral hip and knee disabilities, as well as a TDIU claim, to ensure adequate VA examinations are conducted.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate VA examination reports that do not account for additional functional loss during flare-ups or with repeated use over time.
