Granted
The Board granted service connection for right patellofemoral pain syndrome based on the Veteran's in-service diagnosis and ongoing symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Board found the VA examiner's opinion inadequate due to its failure to consider the Veteran's lay statements regarding her continuous symptoms since service, and granted service connection based on the evidence of record.
