Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral knee strain and bilateral shoulder tendonitis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the conditions were related to active-duty service, leading to a grant of service connection with the benefit of the doubt rule applied.
