Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral knee disability was granted. The claim for psychiatric disability, including major depressive disorder and PTSD, was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's consistent reports of bilateral knee pain since separation from service and the need for a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any current psychiatric disability.
