The veteran's claims for service connection and increased rating for his right knee disability are mixed, with some issues granted and others not. The decision on secondary service connection for left arm, shoulder, and right arm disabilities is pending as the issue of new evidence has been reopened.
The deciding factor: The Board found that while the veteran's current diagnoses do not support direct service connection for his right knee disability, he did have a history of falling due to instability in his right knee which may have caused injuries to his left arm, shoulder, and right arm. The secondary service connection claim is pending as new evidence has reopened it.
