Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left knee condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and to afford the Veteran an adequate VA examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the failure to consider lay assertions and all evidence of record, as well as the need for an adequate rationale in the June 2016 VA examination.
