Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right knee disability to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically related to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 examination report did not include range of motion testing in weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing conditions, which is required under DeLuca, Mitchell, Correia, and Sharp holdings.
