Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a left knee condition is remanded because the VA's medical opinion did not adequately address the veteran's testimony about continuous pain since an injury during service. The case will be reviewed again after obtaining additional information and opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was inadequate as it failed to discuss the Veteran's Board hearing testimony concerning continuous symptomatology.
