The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for left knee strain, and remanded claims for service connection for bilateral acquired pes cavus, left shoulder condition, and right shoulder condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding of a relationship between the Veteran's current left knee strain disability and his in-service injury or disease. The Board also found that the evidence is insufficient to establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's bilateral acquired pes cavus and any service-connected disorder, as well as for the shoulder conditions.
