Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability, finding that the Veteran's pre-existing condition was aggravated by his military service.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA opinion found that the Veteran's reported in-service left knee injury would have still led to the later development of the current disability, supporting the conclusion that it was aggravated beyond its natural progression by his service.
