Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right knee strain as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral ankle sprain.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's current bilateral knee strain was due to his service-connected bilateral ankle sprain, including obesity as an intermediate step.
