Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues for additional development to correct duty to assist errors, including obtaining private treatment records and a retrospective medical opinion regarding left knee flare-ups.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to three duty to assist errors: missing private physical therapy records, inadequate VA examination reports, and lack of notice of right to a hearing under 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(d)(1).
