Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of bilateral knee conditions and limitation of knee flexion to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical opinion did not provide an adequate rationale regarding whether the Veteran's diagnosed bilateral knee arthritis and meniscal tears are directly related to service, necessitating a remand for an addendum opinion.
