Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of left knee strain with degenerative arthritis was granted. The Board found that the veteran's current left knee disability is related to his active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran competent and credible, and the May 2023 private medical opinion highly probative in establishing a nexus between the veteran's in-service injury and current condition.
