Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claims for a right and left knee disability due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The examinations evaluating the obesity theory of service connection are inadequate as they do not provide sufficient facts and data applied to reliable principles and methods, thus violating VA's duty to assist.
