Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain as secondary to the Veteran's left knee disability based on a positive medical nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 private medical opinion provided significant probative weight in establishing a link between the Veteran's lumbosacral strain and his service-connected left knee disability, leading to the grant of service connection.
