Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee condition, as it failed to obtain an opinion regarding whether the right knee condition was caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error in obtaining a medical opinion regarding secondary service connection theory.
