Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right knee conditions due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's statements regarding onset of symptoms during service and failed to consider evidence that the Veteran was normal at enlistment, thus presuming soundness at entry into service.
