Granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left knee disabilities, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in relative equipoise as to whether the Veteran's bilateral knee disability is related to his active service, considering his lay statements and the article indicating common knee injuries among military parachutists.
