Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's right hip strain and patellofemoral pain syndrome, right knee, as secondary to a service-connected left knee patellar tendon tear.
The deciding factor: The Board found the July 2021 medical opinion from G.U. to be the most probative and persuasive evidence.
