Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of a right knee condition, including as secondary to left knee degenerative arthritis. The VA needs to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the August 2018 VA medical opinion was inadequate and constituted a duty to assist error.
