Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for low back, left knee, right knee, right hip, and left hip conditions. The Board found that VA must provide examinations for these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found a pre-decisional duty to assist error because the Veteran was not afforded VA examinations despite presenting evidence of symptoms.
