Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected left knee disability and for service connection for a right knee disability secondary to his service-connected left knee disability due to pre-decisional errors, including inadequate medical examinations and missing relevant records.
The deciding factor: The Board finds the evidence of record is inadequate to adjudicate the claims as there are pre-decisional errors, specifically regarding the adequacy of the VA examinations and missing relevant records.
