Granted
The Board granted service connection for the veteran's right knee strain, left knee strain, and left hip trochanteric pain syndrome. These conditions were found to be secondary to the veteran's service-connected bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in the Veteran's favor based on a private medical opinion that established a causal link between the veteran's conditions and his service-connected bilateral pes planus.
