Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an adequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's right knee disability, including whether it is related to service or secondary to his service-connected left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to a lack of documented in-service symptoms or diagnosis, and an addendum opinion is needed to address the etiology of the Veteran's right knee disability.
