Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee strain, but remanded the claims for service connection for an eye condition and an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The August 2022 medical opinion was found inadequate due to lack of analysis and failure to address all relevant evidence. The Veteran's lay statements were considered credible.
