The Board granted service connection for left and right knee tendinosis, and a right hip condition. The claims for left heel, right heel, and left hip conditions were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims for left and right knee tendinosis and a right hip condition due to in-service injuries, while there was no credible supporting evidence of current disabilities or functional impairment related to the other claimed conditions.
