The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining updated treatment records and scheduling the veteran for VA examinations to assess his right knee disability and tendinitis of the arms and Achilles tendon. The veteran's claims for service connection are also being reviewed.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to the need for further evidence and examination to determine the nature, extent, and severity of the veteran's disabilities.

What this means for you
