The Veteran seeks service connection for degenerative osteoarthritis of the right knee, which he claims is related to a fall during active duty in March/April 1952. The Board has ordered additional development including obtaining medical records and arranging for an examination.
The deciding factor: The claim requires further evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's current right knee condition, specifically whether it is at least as likely as not related to service or a fall during active duty in March/April 1952.
