The Board has decided to remand the Veteran's claim for service connection of a left knee disability due to conflicting evidence regarding whether her preexisting condition was aggravated during active duty or INACDUTRA. The case will be returned for further development and consideration.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on conflicting evidence regarding whether the Veteran's preexisting left knee disorder was aggravated by service, specifically during her active duty from July 2006 to October 2007 or INACDUTRA after release from active duty in 2007.
