Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a back disability, right knee disability, and left knee disability for further development and readjudication.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board relied on inadequate VA examination reports when it denied the Veteran's claims, and additional development is required to obtain new examinations that address the Veteran's lay statements and relevant studies.
