Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative arthritis, spinal stenosis, and lumbar laminectomy as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The private physician assistant's opinion determined that the Veteran's lumbar spine disorder is secondary to his bilateral knee disabilities, which was deemed at least as probative as other evidence of record.
