The Veteran's claims for service connection for right rib and left arm stab wound residuals have been reopened, and the Board finds that these disabilities are related to his military service.,The Veteran's bilateral knee, shoulder, neck, back, and left finger disabilities are being remanded for further examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: New evidence has been submitted showing a connection between the Veteran's current scars and his in-service stabbing injuries. The Board finds that these conditions are related to service.,The claims have been remanded due to insufficient medical opinions regarding the nature of the Veteran's disabilities, their etiology, and whether they are aggravated by other service-connected conditions.
