Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for left knee degenerative disease, right knee degenerative disease, and right ankle condition due to a need for further development.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion did not clearly address whether the Veteran's current bilateral knee and right ankle conditions are caused or aggravated by his service-connected bilateral calcaneal stress fractures.
