Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral foot condition, left knee condition, and right knee condition. The veteran will undergo additional VA examinations to determine the nature and etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board noted that the veteran served in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations and qualifies as a 'Persian Gulf veteran,' raising the issue of undiagnosed illness or medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness (MUCMI).
