This decision was based on conflicting medical opinions from Dr. Achackzad regarding whether the applicant's current knee symptoms were due to a prior specific injury or subsequent cumulative trauma. The Board found Dr. Achackzad's testimony lacked substantial evidence due to inconsistencies and ordered the record to be further developed.
