Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a left and right knee disability, fatty liver, eustachian tube dysfunction, and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome due to inadequate VA examinations and medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations were found to be inadequate as they did not include all necessary testing or provide sufficient rationale. The Board is remanding for additional evidence and a more thorough examination.
