The Board has reopened the veteran's claim for service connection for right knee injury due to new medical evidence showing a current disability and its relationship to his in-service injury. However, the evidence does not establish that the current disability is causally related to the in-service injury.
The deciding factor: New medical evidence shows a current right knee disability but fails to establish a causal link between it and the in-service injury.
