Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability, diagnosed as right knee osteoarthritis and strain pes anserine, on a secondary basis due to the Veteran's service-connected left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's consistent lay statements and testimony constituted competent and credible evidence that his right knee disability was caused by his service-connected left knee disability.
