Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left knee, right knee, and chronic kidney disease as additional development is needed to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA examiner's opinion did not adequately address all relevant evidence and information provided by the Veteran regarding his claimed conditions.
