Partly granted
Service connection for the veteran's left knee conditions was denied. The claims for bilateral hearing loss and lumbar spine disability were remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's left knee conditions began during service or are related to any in-service injury or disease, including as secondary to the service-connected right knee condition.
