Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a right knee disability and right elbow medial epicondylitis with osteoarthritis, but remanded the issue of a right shoulder disability for further development.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided sufficient evidence to support granting service connection for the right knee and right elbow disabilities based on their direct relationship to in-service injuries. The right shoulder claim was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination.
