Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disability, diverticulitis, and Barrett's esophagus due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board finds the previous VA opinions to be inadequate as they did not properly consider the Veteran's statements of pain during and after service and failed to address in-service treatment for stomach pains.
