Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability and denied service connection for a cardiovascular disorder, vertigo, back disability, and left shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's current left knee disability and his in-service cellulitis, while there was no evidence of a current cardiovascular condition or other disabilities related to service.
