The claim for service connection for residuals of a right knee injury was reopened based on new and material evidence, but ultimately denied as the evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's current right knee disability was incurred in or aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that while new and material evidence had been submitted to reopen the claim for service connection for residuals of a right knee injury, the evidence did not establish a nexus between the veteran's current right knee disability and his period of active service.
