Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for lung cancer but granted service connection for a left knee disability on an aggravation basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim for direct service connection of lung cancer, as there was no in-service incurrence or event and no medical nexus to active service. However, the Veteran's preexisting left knee disability was found to have been aggravated during active service.
