Granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, right knee arthritis, and left knee arthritis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record indicates that the Veteran's diagnosed conditions were caused or aggravated beyond their normal course of progression by his service-connected lumbar disability.
