Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disability, to include as secondary to service-connected left knee status post total knee replacement, for an adequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA-obtain medical opinion is found inadequate due to improper consideration of causation and failure to address the aggravation prong of secondary service connection.
