Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a left knee disability, as it finds that an adequate medical opinion addressing direct service connection has not been obtained.
The deciding factor: A duty to assist error exists in not obtaining an adequate medical opinion addressing direct service connection for the Veteran's left knee due to concerns raised by the June 2025 JMR regarding the adequacy of a previously provided VA medical opinion.
