NO - They are trying to determine if the condition of your left knee is

secondary to the service connected right knee condition.

It appears the QTC examiner has stated that it is.

Going only by what you have posted above, I feel the decision maker

will grant service connection for your left knee, secondary to your already

service connected right knee.
