Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for a left knee disability and entitlement to TDIU due to an inadequate VA medical examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not consider all relevant evidence, including lay reports, and provide sufficient rationale regarding the Veteran's claimed in-service falls and their potential relation to his current knee condition.
