Denied
The Board denied service connection for right trochanteric pain syndrome as secondary to a right knee strain and also denied service connection for a right knee strain, as secondary to pes planus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims of secondary service connection due to the lack of a current disability related to the claimed conditions or a well-reasoned nexus opinion linking them to his service-connected disabilities.
