The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee condition, finding that her current disability is due to an in-service injury and there is no conflicting medical evidence. The Board considered all relevant evidence, including lay statements and VA examination reports, and determined that the Veteran's symptoms are consistent with her military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran had a current right knee condition (including arthritis) and an inservice injury to her right knee, which is sufficient to establish service connection under direct service connection criteria.
