Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, intervertebral disc syndrome with degenerative arthritis and degenerative disc disease status post L5-S1 fusion, and neuropathy of the right lower extremity with atrophy.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's contentions regarding the onset of his conditions to be credible in light of his duties as a parachutist during service.
