Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an adequate addendum to provide a more accurate opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's arthritis and right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The January 2021 VA examiner applied the incorrect standard of proof, and the Board finds that a new addendum is necessary to ensure a complete record upon which to decide the Veteran's claims.
