The Board denied service connection for right knee degenerative arthritis and left knee degenerative arthritis, secondary to the right knee condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right knee degenerative arthritis was incurred in or aggravated by active service, nor was there a nexus between the current disability and any incident of service. The Board also found that without service connection for the right knee, secondary service connection for the left knee could not be established.
