Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for joint pain to obtain a medical opinion with sufficient rationale.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion was found to be conclusory and lacking in fully reasoned explanation, thus a remand is necessary for further development of evidence.
