Partly granted
Service connection for left knee strain is denied. The claim for a higher rating for lumbosacral strain is remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding the Veteran's left knee strain began during service or that arthritis manifested to a compensable degree within one year following separation from active service.
