Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right knee condition to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the Veteran's in-service injury and providing a rationale.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA medical opinion is inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's reports of twisting his right knee during service, and improperly relied on the absence of records to support a negative nexus opinion.
