The Board granted service connection for a right knee condition and a right ankle condition, restored the 10 percent rating for degenerative disease of the left knee effective September 2, 2016, and remanded several other issues.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new and material evidence that raised a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims for service connection for right knee and left foot conditions, and the restoration of the rating for degenerative disease of the left knee due to its stability under ordinary conditions of life.
