Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a left knee condition to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing direct service connection and secondary aggravation by his service-connected right knee condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to lack of discussion on in-service complaints and failure to provide a baseline level of severity for secondary service connection theory.
