Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left shin splints, as well as right and left knee conditions, to ensure proper notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing is provided.
The deciding factor: The remand was required due to an error by the AOJ in failing to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a hearing, which prevented him from making a fully informed decision regarding his review options.
