Remanded (sent back)
The claim for service connection for a bilateral knee condition is remanded due to the RO's failure to substantially comply with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: Remand required as the RO did not notify the Veteran that no additional service treatment records were found and make a determination of unavailability with an explanation as to why further efforts would be futile, in compliance with the January 2025 Board remand.
