Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a right knee strain is remanded. The VA needs to obtain complete National Guard service records from 2009 through 2022.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the RO failed to obtain the Veteran's complete service records, constituting a pre-decisional duty to assist error requiring remand.
