The Board granted service connection for bilateral knee strain and instability, finding that the evidence was approximately evenly balanced as to whether this disability began during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record reflects that the Veteran experienced bilateral knee symptoms in service and has had continuous symptoms since service. The Board found that there is no clear and unmistakable evidence that a pre-existing left knee disability was not aggravated by service, thus granting service connection for bilateral knee strain and instability.
