Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left knee strain to obtain an adequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in the December 2024 VA medical opinion, which did not properly address whether any of the documented in-service knee pain reflects the origin of the currently diagnosed chronic right and left knee strain.
