Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left shoulder disability, right shoulder disability, left knee disability, left foot disability (other than pes planus), and right foot disability (other than pes planus).
The deciding factor: The February 2025 opinion found that the Veteran's bilateral shoulder, knee, and foot disabilities are at least as likely as not related to in-service injuries.
