Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's appeal and restored the 20 percent rating for her service-connected right knee strain and osteoarthritis, finding that the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination upon which the reduction was based was deemed inadequate due to a lack of thoroughness and an explicit finding of sustained improvement in the Veteran's condition.
