Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left knee disability, claimed as instability, based on in-service complaints of pain and a medical opinion linking the condition to parachute jumps during active service.
The deciding factor: The Board found Dr. L.C.'s opinion highly probative due to its accurate medical history and clear conclusions, supporting the nexus between the Veteran's left knee disability and his active service.
