Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to adjudicate whether an earlier effective date for a temporary total rating is warranted based on the October 2021 left patella injury and whether an extension of the temporary total rating beyond August 1, 2022, is warranted.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not provide sufficient information to determine if a temporary total rating was warranted prior to February 2022 or if an extension beyond August 2022 is appropriate.
