Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including back pain, knee and wrist joint pains, neck pain, anxiety, depression, as further development is needed to properly adjudicate these claims.
The deciding factor: A VA examination and medical opinion are necessary to determine if the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to his military service due to in-service events such as falls and strain from his MOS as an Infantry Rifleman.
