Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right knee degenerative arthritis, finding that the Veteran's bilateral knee disabilities are etiologically related to his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's bilateral knee disabilities were incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event, or illness due to wear and tear during deployments.
