The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for right knee strain as secondary to his service-connected left knee strain, finding that the current disability is but-for due to and worsened by the service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found a nexus between the Veteran's service-connected left knee strain and his current right knee strain based on medical opinions supporting this conclusion.
