Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings of the Veteran's service-connected right and left knee disabilities to address pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including an inadequate March 2021 VA examination and failure to discount beneficial effects of medications on range of motion and flare-ups.
