Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee disorder due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to address the Veteran's reported symptoms and functional impact of his condition.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA examiner did not adequately address the Veteran's competent assertions regarding the nature, onset, and duration of his knee pain and failed to elicit or document information regarding the functional impact of the Veteran's right knee symptoms.
