Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for right knee disability to correct duty to assist errors, including obtaining an adequate VA medical opinion and making further efforts to obtain better copies of the Veteran's service personnel records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate VA medical opinions and poor quality of service personnel records that are significant to the claim.
