Denied

Service connection for the veteran's left knee strain and left wrist strain was denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support a link between these conditions and the veteran's military service.

The deciding factor: The Board afforded great probative weight to medical opinions finding no service connection, despite the veteran's lay contentions.
