Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA addendum opinion to determine if the Veteran's left knee disabilities are secondary to or aggravated by his service-connected right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide an adequate medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's left knee disabilities and his service-connected right knee disability, necessitating a remand for further evaluation.
