Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic left knee strain as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right knee degenerative arthritis but denied service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a causal relationship between the Veteran's chronic left knee strain and his service-connected right knee disability, while there was insufficient evidence linking the Veteran's hypertension to an in-service injury or disease.
