Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating for left knee Osgood-Schlatter's Disease and service connection for a right middle finger injury due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate VA examinations and missing private treatment records that could provide evidence of the Veteran's conditions during active service or their relationship to his current disabilities.
