Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of left ankle, left hip, right ankle, right hip, and left knee disorders due to parachute jumps during service. The Board needs more medical opinions on the relationship between these conditions and the veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions did not specifically address the impact of parachute jumps or the veteran's reports of pain beginning after these jumps.
