Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right and left knee disabilities as secondary to a service-connected left ankle disability. The veteran will undergo a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous medical opinions were inadequate because they did not address both prongs of secondary service connection (causation and aggravation).
