Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right knee disabilities due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical opinion is found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's lay statements regarding his left knee pain since service, necessitating a remand for an addendum opinion.
