Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a compensable rating for the left knee scar and remanded further evaluation of the left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome due to inadequate examination reports.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examinations did not meet the requirements set by Correia and Sharp, necessitating additional information on flare-ups and repeated use over time for accurate rating determination.
