Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee arthritis and right knee arthritis based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The decision was made in favor of the Veteran due to a positive nexus opinion from Dr. J.C., which outweighed the previous negative VA examination opinion, placing the evidence at least in approximate balance.
