Granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left knee degenerative arthritis, other than post-traumatic, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral ankle strain, right plantar spur, and bilateral hallux valgus.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's knee disabilities are proximately due to or aggravated by her service-connected lower extremity conditions.
