The Board denied service connection for a right knee condition and remanded the claim for a back condition due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right knee pain began after his honorable period of service, and he was barred from VA benefits for disabilities incurred during his dishonorable discharge period. The back condition claim requires further development as it is secondary to a service-connected disability with insufficient evidence provided.
