Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for left knee internal derangement, which resulted in a total knee replacement, was granted because the pre-existing condition was aggravated by military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's lay statement and medical opinions supported the claim that the left knee condition was aggravated by military service.
