Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's degenerative joint disease of the left knee, finding it at least as likely as not related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that Dr. A.R.'s positive etiology opinion was highly persuasive and of greater probative value than the negative nexus opinions provided by various VA medical examiners.
