The Board denied service connection for a right knee/right leg disability other than RSD with chondromalacia patella and bursitis, as well as for a left leg disability manifested by numbness and atrophy. The Veteran's claims were not supported by competent medical evidence.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence suggesting that the Veteran has a right knee/right leg disability other than RSD with chondromalacia patella and bursitis or a left leg disability manifested by numbness and atrophy, related to her military service.
