Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a back condition as secondary to his right knee condition, finding no evidence that the back condition was proximately caused by or aggravated by the service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a determination that the Veteran has a back condition that is secondary to a service-connected right knee disability, and there is no persuasive medical evidence linking the back condition to any incident of service.
