Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues to obtain a VA examination that clarifies the severity of the Veteran's service-connected bilateral knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the initial VA examination was inadequate and did not provide sufficient information on the Veteran's functional limitations during flare-ups or with repeated use over time.
