Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee osteoarthritis and an initial 50 percent disability rating for tension headaches effective June 20, 2017.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise regarding the Veteran's claims, and resolving all reasonable doubt in his favor, the Board found that he met the criteria for service connection and a higher disability rating.
