Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected back disability, resolving doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by the Veteran is persuasive and supports the conclusion that his left knee pain is caused and/or aggravated by his service-connected back disability.
