Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for right and left knee pain, but remanded the claims for a left foot disability and tinnitus due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of a right or left knee disability. The VA provided an inadequate opinion regarding the Veteran's tinnitus and left foot disability.
