Granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee strain, left knee strain, left ankle sprain, and thoracolumbar spine degenerative disc disease and spinal fusion based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current disabilities were at least as likely as not caused by his service due to in-service parachute jumps and other activities.
