Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for knee, neck, back, and shoulder strains to ensure compliance with a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's current conditions, specifically requiring VA examinations to determine if they are related to active military service.
