Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, left knee strain with instability, and right knee strain to obtain additional evidence and a VA examination.
The deciding factor: There is insufficient evidence of record to determine the etiology of the Veteran's claimed conditions, particularly regarding in-service stressors and the relationship between her current conditions and service. A remand is necessary for further development and an adequate medical opinion.
