Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a low back disability, right knee disability, and left knee disability to obtain new VA medical opinions that adequately address the Veteran's lay reports of onset, in-service treatment, and continued symptomatology.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examinations were found inadequate as they did not provide sufficient rationale regarding the relationship between the Veteran's claimed disabilities and his active service.
