Granted
The Board granted service connection for right knee, left hip, and right hip disabilities as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's bilateral hip and right knee disabilities were due to his service-connected left knee disability, leading to a grant of service connection for all three conditions.
