Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee disabilities due to duty-to-assist errors, including the need for additional medical evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to address duty-to-assist errors, such as obtaining outstanding treatment records and scheduling a new examination with an opinion addressing the Veteran's contentions and previous examination findings.
