Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left knee arthritis, right knee arthritis, and a lower back condition to schedule VA medical examinations as there is insufficient evidence of record to determine the etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the Veteran is entitled to receive VA medical examinations for his claimed conditions due to the lack of sufficient evidence regarding their potential association with service.
