Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service-connection for left and right knee osteoarthritis as further development is needed to address the Veteran's lay statements.
The deciding factor: The December 2022 VA examinations and May 2023 VA addendum were found inadequate as they did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements about his bilateral knee osteoarthritis, and a new examination is required.
