Denied
The Board denied service connection for various knee, wrist, and ankle disorders as there was no evidence of onset during active service or a relationship to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's conditions did not have their onset during active service and were not otherwise shown to be related to service, with arthritis failing to manifest within one year of discharge in all cases.
