Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left knee disability due to the lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis, and remanded the claim for further development regarding a back disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of a confirmed diagnosis of a current left knee disability and the need for additional evidence to support the etiology of the claimed back pain.
