Denied
The Board denied service connection for left knee degenerative arthritis as the evidence did not support a finding of an in-service injury or a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was highly probative, noting that there was no evidence of a chronic continuing left knee condition during service and decades passed before any symptoms appeared.
