Granted
The Board granted service connection for lumbosacral strain as a secondary condition to the Veteran's service-connected left knee tendonitis.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion and the medical and lay evidence supported the conclusion that the Veteran's current low back disability was caused by, or at least aggravated by his service-connected knee disability.
