Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left knee disability and low back disability to correct a duty to assist error, requiring VA examinations.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred by not obtaining VA examinations and medical opinions regarding the Veteran's claimed disabilities, necessitating a remand.
