Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the issues of service connection for a neck condition, left knee condition, and scar status post-surgical incision due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examination reports were found inadequate as they did not address all aspects of the claims, including aggravation and direct causation.
