Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral knee disability and a low back disability, finding no evidence of an in-service event or association with service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim as there was no credible evidence of an in-service event or association with service, and the Veteran's statements were contradicted by his contemporaneous medical histories.
