Granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee and leg, left knee and leg, and low back disabilities based on the evidence showing a direct relationship to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's right knee disability had its onset in service. The left knee and low back disabilities were found to be caused by or the result of his service-connected right knee disability.
