Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right knee arthritis as there was no evidence of an in-service injury or disease impacting the knees, and no competent evidence relating the current conditions to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements regarding in-service knee pain were found to be not credible due to a lack of contemporaneous medical records supporting such claims.
