Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for right and left knee disorders, finding no evidence of a chronic disorder in service or within one year of discharge, and no persuasive evidence linking the current bilateral knee osteoarthritis to military service or any service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion found that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's knee disorders were incurred in or caused by military service, nor were they caused or aggravated by a service-connected low back or radiculopathy disability.
