The Board has granted service connection for right hip bursitis and bilateral knee condition, finding that these conditions are related to the Veteran's service-connected lumbar spondylosis and degenerative joint disease.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a determination that the current right hip bursitis and bilateral knee condition are at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by the service-connected lumbar spondylosis and degenerative joint disease, with consideration of continuity of symptomatology since active duty.
