Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right knee conditions based on a direct link to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The November 2022 private opinion from the board-certified orthopedic surgeon provided more probative value than other opinions, establishing a nexus between the Veteran's knee conditions and his military service.
