Granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hip pain and right knee instability, both secondary to lumbar degenerative disc disease, left knee disabilities, and lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's bilateral hip pain and right knee instability were caused by his service-connected conditions, leading to a grant of service connection with reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran.
