Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee strain with meniscal tear and instability with osteoarthritis and tendinosis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The current disability was found to be at least as likely as not related to in-service injuries based on medical evidence and the Veteran's credible statements of continuous symptoms since service.
