Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine if there is an etiological link between the Veteran's current knee pain and his military service, including his Iraq deployments.
The deciding factor: The failure to provide a medical examination constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error requiring remand.
