Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for service connection for left and right knee disabilities to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examiner's opinions were found inadequate due to deficiencies in addressing the Veteran's lay statements and post-service medical records, necessitating a new or addendum opinion.
