Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right knee condition, pain and tight muscle as the evidence did not support that the Veteran's current disability began during active service or was related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were more probative than the private opinion due to their review of medical records and physical examination of the Veteran. The evidence showed no chronicity of care for a right knee condition between discharge and now, and recent x-rays were normal.
