The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for left knee condition and arthritis, finding that there is no evidence of a nexus between his current conditions and his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not have a chronic left knee condition in service or within one year after separation, and there was insufficient medical evidence to establish a link between his current symptoms and his military service.
