Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability and lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) as secondary to the Veteran's already service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's right knee disability is proximately due to his service-connected left knee disability, and LSC was caused by the same disease process as the Veteran's service-connected post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation status post bullous impetigo.
