Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability, left knee disability, left ankle disability, and right wrist disability based on the evidence showing that these conditions had their onset during the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that all three elements of service connection were established by the competent and credible lay and medical evidence of record, including the Veteran's consistent report of knee and ankle pain in service and since then.
