Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee disorders for an adequate VA examination and medical opinion to address whether the Veteran's current bilateral knee strain is related to his in-service knee pain.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA medical opinion was found inadequate because it did not comply with prior remand orders and was based on an inaccurate factual premise.
