Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral shoulder and knee disabilities to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the previous medical opinions are inadequate due to reliance on inaccurate factual premises and a lack of consideration of the Veteran's lay statements regarding in-service injuries.
