Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee osteoarthritis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and considering a private opinion that linked the condition to service.
The deciding factor: The private clinician provided plausible explanations supporting the conclusion that the Veteran's left knee osteoarthritis is related to his service, including the rigors of military duties and activities.
