Granted
The Board granted service connection for right ear hearing loss, vertigo (also claimed as dizziness), left knee tendonitis and osteoarthritis, right knee strain and osteoarthritis, left hip disorder diagnosed as left hip osteoarthritis, and right hip disorder diagnosed as right hip osteoarthritis.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence shows that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's conditions are a result of his service or secondary to his service-connected disabilities.
