Denied
The Board denied service connection for left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and psoriasis, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against a finding that the Veteran's left knee PFPS and psoriasis were associated with his service due to their known pathophysiology and etiology, as well as the lack of documentation of these conditions during service.
