Citation Nr: 21000374 Decision Date: 01/05/21 Archive Date: 01/05/21 DOCKET NO. 10-30 219 DATE: January 5, 2021 REMANDED Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for status post fracture of the right femur with open reduction internal fixation is remanded. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee strain is remanded. Entitlement to service connection for a back disability, to include as secondary to the service-connected disabilities of status post fracture of the right femur with open reduction internal fixation and right knee strain is remanded. REASONS FOR REMAND The Veteran served on active duty from July 1985 to February 1988. These matters come before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (the Board) on appeal from a January 2009 rating decision of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). The Veteran testified before a Veterans Law Judge (VLJ) in July 2013 and before the undersigned VLJ in March 2018. Transcripts of both hearings are of record. The appeal was remanded for additional development in February 2014, May 2016, September 2017, and May 2018. 1. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for status post fracture of the right femur with open reduction internal fixation is remanded. 2. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right knee strain is remanded. 3. Entitlement to service connection for a back disability, to include as secondary to the service-connected disabilities of status post fracture of the right femur with open reduction internal fixation and right knee strain is remanded. While further delay is regrettable, the appeal is remanded for missing VA treatment records. In the May 2018 remand, the Board requested that the Veteran’s VA treatment records from March 2018 to present be obtained and associated with the claims file. A June 2020 supplemental statement of the case indicates that the RO obtained Cleveland VAMC treatment records from September 2006 through May 2020; however, those complete records have not been associated with the Veteran’s claims file and are unavailable for Board review. Thus, another remand is required. The matters are REMANDED for the following action: Associate the missing Cleveland VAMC treatment records, specifically from March 2018 to present, with the claims file. D. JOHNSON Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board J. Telamour, Associate Counsel The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided. This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
