The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of multiple disabilities, including left and right knee, ankle, shoulder, and cervical spine disabilities. The Board found that prior medical opinions were inadequate and required further development.

The deciding factor: The Board determined that additional remand is necessary as its prior instructions were not substantially complied with, ensuring due process and a complete record for decision-making.
