Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disability due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it relied primarily on the absence of contemporaneous medical records, and did not address the Veteran's contention that his knee pain began in service and has continued to present day.
