Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right knee disabilities as the evidence was insufficient to establish a causal relationship between the current knee disabilities and an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statements regarding onset and chronicity of pain were not credible, and the private medical opinion relied too heavily on the Veteran's lay testimony without providing sufficient medical basis for its conclusion.
