The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a current disability of the right lower extremity or psychiatric disorder that is service-connected. The evidence does not support a finding of chronic symptoms related to service, and the preponderance of the evidence is against granting service connection for any of the conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not demonstrate a current diagnosis of a right knee/leg condition or psychiatric disorder, nor does it show that such conditions are related to service. The Veteran's service treatment records do not indicate any chronic symptoms during his active duty and post-service treatment records do not document continuity of symptomatology.
