Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right and left knee disabilities. The veteran will receive a new medical examination to determine if these conditions are related to his service-connected left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous medical opinion was inadequate because it did not address the veteran's reported symptoms.
