Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a back condition, left knee joint osteoarthritis, and right knee joint osteoarthritis secondary to plantar fasciitis due to inadequate medical opinions regarding aggravation.
The deciding factor: Inadequate medical opinions were provided as they failed to address whether the Veteran's current conditions were aggravated by her service-connected plantar fasciitis.
