The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims of service connection for left ankle, right knee, left knee, left shoulder, low back, and upper back conditions due to insufficient evidence on record.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is insufficient competent medical evidence to make a decision regarding the service connection claims and thus requires further examination and opinion.
