Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of the veteran's right knee disability, secondary to a left knee condition, is remanded. The Board found that the medical opinion relied on was inadequate and needs further development.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the November 2021 VA medical opinion was based on an inaccurate factual premise regarding the onset of the veteran's right knee disability.
