Partly granted
The veteran's left knee disability is service-connected due to a secondary condition related to their right knee. The claims for right and left hip disabilities are being sent back for further review.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's left knee disability was secondary to his service-connected right knee disability, but remanded the claims for right and left hip disabilities due to lack of a VA medical opinion on secondary aggravation basis.
