Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of right knee patellar tendonitis with patellofemoral pain syndrome to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The VA examination provided is inadequate as it does not address whether the Veteran's right knee condition worsened during his period of active duty for training and if so, whether that worsening was due to the events that occurred during his ADT.
