Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee strain with patellofemoral pain syndrome, left knee strain, and hypertension but denied service connection for a right wrist condition and tinea pedis.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions were highly probative as they considered the Veteran's entire medical history and provided clear conclusions supported by rationale. The evidence did not show current diagnoses for the right wrist condition or tinea pedis, thus denying these claims.
