Granted
The veteran's service connection for right knee strain, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and osteoarthritis has been granted. These conditions are considered secondary to the veteran's service-connected left knee strain.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran based on a private medical opinion that linked the right knee conditions to the service-connected left knee strain.
