Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a right knee disability because the Veteran has not had a VA examination to determine if the disability is related to service. The Board will consider new evidence submitted during an applicable evidentiary window.
The deciding factor: A VA medical examination or opinion is necessary to establish a nexus between the current disability and service, but one has not been provided.
