Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the issues of increased disability ratings for left and right knee conditions, as well as entitlement to individual unemployability (TDIU), due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the severity of the Veteran's symptoms while discounting the ameliorative effects of medication needed to be determined.
