Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for higher ratings in excess of 10 percent for right and left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the RO's failure to make efforts to obtain potentially outstanding private treatment records and obtain a medical opinion addressing such records.
