Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error. The VA examination report was incomplete, lacking range of motion measurements and explanations.
The deciding factor: The December 2022 VA examination report was found inadequate for rating purposes due to missing information on range of motion measurements.
