Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for a left knee disability, certain skin conditions, and scars other than post-operative scars. The Board found errors in the VA's duty to assist and ordered new examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found pre-decisional duty to assist errors occurred, warranting a remand.
