Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for left hip strain, secondary to their left knee disability, has been granted. The evidence showed that the hip strain was at least as likely as not caused by the knee disability.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on the evidence showing a causal relationship between the left hip strain and the left knee disability.
