Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for a new VA examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's knee disabilities and determine whether he is in need of regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The pre-decisional evidence indicates significant functional impairment, but further exploration is needed to accurately assess the Veteran's knee disabilities and their impact on daily living activities.
