Granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral knee condition, finding that the Veteran's current disability is causally related to his in-service parachute landings.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record supports a finding that the Veteran's bilateral knee condition is causally related to service due to his reported in-service knee pain and the lack of medical treatment evidence immediately following service, which was not considered by the VA examiners.
