Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disability and left knee disability for further development, including providing notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing before the AOJ and obtaining a new medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an error on the part of the AOJ in failing to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a hearing and because the February 2020 VA examiner's opinion was found to be inadequate without providing a foundation for the significance of the absence of chronicity of care.
