Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right knee pain as a medical examination is necessary to determine if there is a link between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary because the Veteran has never been afforded a VA medical examination to evaluate whether the claimed bilateral knee condition is related to service, which is required under VA's duty to assist.
