Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a back disability, left knee condition, and right knee condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to evidence of worsening symptoms prior to the rating decision on appeal and more than five years since the most recent VA examinations.
