Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and a bilateral knee disorder, finding that the evidence does not support a link between these conditions and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was probative as it was based on accurate medical history and provided clear conclusions with supporting data. The Board also found no indication of an association between the claimed disabilities and service, despite the Veteran's assertions.
