Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for entitlement to service connection for a back disability and a left knee disability due to deficiencies in the VA examiner's opinions.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiners' opinions are inadequate because they were based on inaccurate factual premises and did not provide reasoned explanations based on the specific facts of the Veteran's case.
