Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee strain with joint osteoarthritis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected left and right ankle disabilities, but remanded the claim for an initial rating greater than 40 percent for lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a favorable medical opinion that the Veteran's left knee pain is directly related to her service-connected ankle disabilities.
