The Board denied service connection for bilateral knee patellofemoral pain syndrome as the evidence did not support a finding that the condition was incurred in or aggravated during active service.

The deciding factor: The Board found no credible evidence linking the Veteran's current bilateral knee condition to his active service, citing an absence of in-service complaints and medical records, and noting the first complaint of knee pain occurred approximately 13 years after discharge from active duty.
