Granted
The Board granted service connection for left hip strain on a secondary basis, finding that the Veteran's left hip condition is caused by his service-connected left knee strain.
The deciding factor: The private clinician's opinion supported the conclusion that the Veteran's left hip strain is secondary to his service-connected left knee strain, and this was found probative despite some limitations in the VA examination report.
