Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a left knee condition was dismissed due to procedural defects. The claim for right knee ruptured patella tendon s/p repair was remanded for an adequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The dismissal of the left knee condition claim was based on the failure to file a timely VA Form 10182, and the remand of the right knee condition claim was due to the need for an adequate VA examination.
