Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral knee and ankle conditions, as well as a bilateral shoulder condition, due to deficiencies in the VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain new medical opinions that consider all of the Veteran's STRs and to allow VA to obtain authorization and request private treatment records relevant to her claims.
