Granted
The Board granted service connection for left hip degenerative osteoarthritis, left knee strain with degenerative arthritis, and right knee strain with degenerative arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively favors the conclusion that it is at least as likely as not (likelihood is at least approximately balanced or nearly equal, if not higher) that the Veteran's left hip condition, left knee condition, and right knee condition were incurred in or caused by his military service.
