Granted
The Board grants service connection for a right hip and right knee disability, finding that these conditions are secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's right hip and right knee disabilities would be less severe 'but-for' his service-connected right ankle disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
