Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities interfered with normal employability from January 31, 1972 to September 16, 1981.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to discuss whether the Veteran should undergo an examination addressing his 1972 lay statements that swelling and stiffness in his right knee affected his ability to work.
