Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for left and right knee disabilities due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's reports of continuous symptoms since service or his testimony regarding hard impacts during service, relying instead on a lack of contemporaneous evidence.
