Granted
The Board granted service connection for left knee osteoarthritis, finding it to be a presumptively service-connected form of arthritis and that the Veteran's symptoms persisted from his active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a grant of service connection based on continuity of symptomology and the presumption of service connection for certain conditions, including arthritis, under 38 C.F.R. § 3.309(a).
