The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee disabilities for a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any current knee conditions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's in-service knee complaints and his current knee conditions, as well as the need for an examination to provide responsive opinions on service connection.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
