The Board denied service connection for left knee PCL tear, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the disability and the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran's left knee PCL tear began during active service or is otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease, due to his inconsistent statements regarding in-service injuries and lack of contemporaneous medical records supporting such claims.
