Granted
The Board granted service connection for right hip, left hip, right knee and left knee disabilities based on the evidence showing that these conditions had their onset in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's bilateral hip and knee disabilities had their onset in service, and resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
