Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of left knee strain, both directly and as secondary to service-connected ankle conditions. The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the June 2022 VA medical opinion was inadequate because it was based on an inaccurate factual premise.
