Denied
The Board denied service connection for left knee arthritis, right knee strain (right knee disability), and hypertension as the evidence did not support an in-service injury or event related to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed no in-service injuries, symptoms, findings, diagnoses, or treatment related to either knee or hypertension. The Veteran's reports of in-service injuries were inconsistent with contemporaneous medical records and other evidence.
