Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for degenerative arthritis in the right knee, degenerative arthritis in the lower back, and bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy. The claim for an eye disorder was denied.
The deciding factor: There is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding whether the current disabilities relate to the Veteran's in-service injuries or service-connected disability, leading to a grant of the claims under the doctrine of reasonable doubt.
