Once again, more proof that the VA cannot just go and try to reduce a veteran's rating while in appeal status.You can look them up for yourselves. Medrano v. Nicholson, 21 Vet. App. 165, 170 (2007).
In a May 2019 decision, the Board, in relevant part, granted a separate rating of 10 percent, but no higher, for the Veteran's right knee instability. The Veteran appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Court). In a February 2020 Joint Motion for Partial Remand (JMPR), the parties agreed to vacate and remand the May 2019 Board decision as to the grant of 10 percent rating, but no higher, for the Veteran's right knee instability. Specifically, the JMPR only remanded the issue of an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee instability. All other issues adjudicated in the May 2019 Board decision were not to be disturbed. See Medrano v. Nicholson, 21 Vet. App. 165, 170 (2007). As such, the Board will only address this issue in the instant decision.
My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.
Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.
I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

(Too many) Remands are a big source of frustration for Veterans. Remands are the "Welcome to the hamster wheel" sign. This said, having some experience with remands, you need to "know the code
