Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee osteoarthritis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor based on a chronic condition noted during service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted due to the chronic condition of arthritis noted in February 1982 and the absence of clear attribution to an intercurrent cause unrelated to service.
