Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to request additional evidence and obtain a medical opinion regarding the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee disability.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error exists due to missing in-service treatment records and an insufficient private medical opinion, necessitating a remand for further development.
