Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of a right knee condition because no VA examination was conducted to determine if the condition is related to service. The veteran reported a fall during service that injured his right knee.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ failed to obtain a VA examination, which constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
