The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection of right knee disorder, left knee disorder, and low back disorder due to lack of evidence linking these conditions to his active duty. The veteran's current disorders are considered 'unknown' in terms of their origin.
The deciding factor: Competent medical evidence does not support a finding that the veteran's current right knee, left knee, or low back disorders are causally related to service.
