Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral knee and low back disabilities to obtain additional medical evidence, as the previous decision did not adequately consider the Veteran's in-service accident and post-service statements regarding functional impairment.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to inadequate consideration of the Veteran's in-service accident and post-service statements regarding functional impairment by the December 2018 VA examiner.
