Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee disorder, finding no evidence of chronicity in service or continuity of symptomatology since service, and no medical nexus between the disability and an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA examination and December 2024 opinion concluded that the Veteran's degenerative arthritis was related to 'wear and tear' with aging, not his military service.
