Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left knee condition and a bilateral eye condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, requiring additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's conditions, specifically a need for VA examinations to address the nature and etiology of the claimed disabilities.
