The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for recurrent right knee disability, left knee disability, and recurrent right shoulder disability due to inadequate VA examinations. The TDIU claim is also being remanded.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations were not adequate as they did not address the Veteran's competent and credible statements regarding his symptoms since service separation.
