The Board has remanded the case due to a procedural error in recognizing the Veteran's VA Form 10182 and placing his appeal in the AMA Hearing Lane. The RO should issue an SOC addressing whether new and material evidence was received to reopen claims for service connection for left and right knee conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board committed a procedural error by placing the Veteran's appeal into the modernized system, which is not applicable due to the date of implementation of the AMA.
