Granted
The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, a cervical spine disability, a right knee disability, a left knee disability, a right ankle disability, and a right hand disability based on the Veteran's lay statements and positive private medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's conditions are the result of his military service. Resolving all reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the Board finds that entitlement to service connection is warranted.
