Granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left knee strain, finding that the evidence is at least in approximate balance that these disabilities are related to the Veteran's in-service bilateral knee injuries.
The deciding factor: The Board found a medical nexus between the Veteran's current knee strain disabilities and his in-service duties as a Support Equipment Air Conditioning and MMF Technician, based on private and VA medical opinions.
