Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a low back disability, left knee disability, right knee disability, and neck disability to correct duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners did not address the Veteran's contention that his current disabilities are due to cumulative damage caused by overuse and strenuous activity during his active duty service.
