Granted
The veteran's left hand and left shoulder conditions are granted service connection as secondary to their service-connected right knee condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in equipoise regarding the question of secondary service connection, and thus conferred the benefit of the doubt to the Veteran.
