Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for low back, right ankle, right hip, and right leg nerve disabilities to ensure that a VA examination is conducted to determine if there is a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's service or his service-connected right knee disability.
The deciding factor: Remand was necessary due to a possible nexus between the claimed disabilities and service or a service-connected condition, but no VA examinations were provided.
