Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of right knee degenerative joint disease, both directly and as secondary to left knee degenerative joint disease. The VA examiner did not fully address whether the service-connected left knee disability aggravated the Veteran's right knee disorder.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deficient because it did not address whether the service-connected left knee disability aggravated the Veteran's right knee disorder.
