Granted
The Board granted service connection for right leg above the knee amputation as secondary to service-connected coronary artery disease, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion provided by Dr. K.G. established a link between the Veteran's service-connected coronary artery disease and his right leg above the knee amputation, leading to the grant of service connection on a secondary basis.
