Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left hip/left gluteal muscle disability, finding it to be secondary to the Veteran's service-connected knee disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion linking the Veteran's left hip/gluteal disability to his service-connected knee disability.
