Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right knee patella realignment as additional medical evidence is needed to properly adjudicate the claims.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions of record are inadequate, and a new addendum opinion is required to address the Veteran's lay statements regarding the onset and progression of his knee disabilities during active service.
