Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee strain due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA medical opinions are found to be inadequate as they lacked a rationale on why the Veteran's in-service bilateral knee patellofemoral pain syndrome did not cause or aggravate his currently diagnosed bilateral knee strain disabilities.
