Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hip and knee pain, as secondary to a service-connected left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support the theory that the Veteran's bilateral hip and knee pain are due to or aggravated by his service-connected left ankle disability.
