Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's service connection claim for a left knee disability to correct a duty to assist error, specifically addressing whether the condition existed prior to service and was aggravated by his service-connected right hip disability.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion provided did not adequately address whether the Veteran's left knee disability was caused or aggravated by his service-connected right hip disability, nor did it consider evidence of pre-service left knee issues.
