Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new examination and opinion to address the Veteran's contentions regarding his left knee instability, the severity of his left lower extremity radiculopathy (or right if applicable), and the etiology of his neck strain.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examinations were found inadequate due to internal inconsistencies or inaccurate factual premises, necessitating new opinions for accurate rating and service connection determinations.
