Denied
The Board denied service connection for a lumbar spine disorder and a right knee disorder as there was no evidence of these conditions in service or within the applicable presumptive period, and no competent medical evidence linking them to military service.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence showing the Veteran's lumbar spine disorder or right knee disorder during service or within one year after discharge, combined with the absence of a nexus between his current conditions and his military service, led to the denial of these claims.
