Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an addendum VA medical opinion to address whether the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to service or secondary to her service-connected bilateral knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to a need for additional evidence regarding causation and aggravation of the psychiatric disorders by the service-connected knee disabilities.
