Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of whether the discontinuance of a separate 10 percent rating for post-operative right knee anterior cruciate ligament tear residuals was proper, as further VA evaluation is needed to determine the nature and severity of the service-connected right knee disability on June 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The conflicting clinical findings regarding the right knee necessitate a thorough and contemporaneous medical examination to accurately assess the current state of the Veteran's condition.
