Granted
The Board granted service connection for status post right total knee arthroplasty, finding that the evidence is at least in equipoise that it is due to the Veteran's service-connected right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 physician's opinion provided probative weight and considered the pertinent evidence of record, including lay statements from the Veteran, leading to a nexus being established between the current condition and the service-connected disability.
