The Board has denied the veteran's claims of service connection for liver and kidney disorders, finding no competent evidence linking these conditions to his military service or to his service-connected right knee disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing a current diagnosis of liver or kidney disorders, nor any link between these conditions and the veteran's service-connected right knee disability.
