Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claims for left and right knee disabilities due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA medical opinion is considered inadequate because it lacks a proper rationale, specifically failing to consider the Veteran's statements about increased pain during service and the pre-service physical clearance.
