Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a right knee disability to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically regarding the failure to obtain a VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the AOJ's failure to obtain a VA examination and medical opinion addressing whether any current disorder of the right knee is related to the Veteran's in-service injury.
