Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee strain, right knee strain, and lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The record demonstrates that the Veteran's pain in her knees and back had an onset during service and has continued since. The private medical opinion by M.T., as well as the lay statements of the Veteran, are considered credible evidence supporting a direct link to service.
