Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left knee disability, right knee strain disability, and lumbosacral strain due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as none of the medical opinions provide a direct service connection opinion, which is a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
