Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a bilateral shin disorder was granted. The claim for a higher rating for right knee limitation of flexion was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's bilateral shin disorder is secondary to his service-connected bilateral knee disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
