The Board dismissed the claim for entitlement to service connection for a right knee disorder as it has been granted and there is no justiciable case or controversy before the Board.
The deciding factor: The issue of entitlement to service connection for a right knee disorder was moot because it had already been granted, making the appeal dismissible.
