Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a compensable rating for a left knee disorder prior to February 22, 2022, and 20 percent thereafter; a rating in excess of 10 percent for a left knee disorder; and an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for coronary artery disease (CAD) for additional development.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is warranted to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including insufficient information regarding the Veteran's knee instability and unaddressed private treatment records for his heart condition.
