Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension, right elbow pain, right knee pain, left knee pain, and left ankle pain. The Board could not consider evidence submitted after the September 2022 decision but will be considered by the AOJ in the readjudication.
The deciding factor: The remand is required to allow VA to obtain relevant outstanding private treatment records identified by the Veteran.
