The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left knee disability, finding that her current condition was not incurred in or due to her time in service nor is it due to her service connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of chronicity of the left knee disability since separation from service and did not find any nexus between the Veteran's service-connected conditions and her current left knee disability.
