Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for left knee degenerative joint disease is granted. The evidence shows a continuity of symptomatology since service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's left knee degenerative joint disease manifested as chronic within a year of his discharge from active duty, resolving any reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
