Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an additional examination and opinion to determine the etiology of the Veteran's left knee strain and left knee meniscal tear with tendinitis, including whether they are related to her military service or secondary to her service-connected plantar fasciitis of the left foot.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the previous examinations and opinions were inadequate as they did not fully consider the Veteran's statements regarding continuity and did not address whether the knee conditions were caused or aggravated by the service-connected foot condition.
