Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues related to the veteran's right knee disabilities and effective dates for TDIU and DEA benefits. The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found the November 2021 VA contract examination findings regarding range of motion loss to be inadequate because they are inconsistent with the holdings in Deluca and Sharp.
