Denied
The Board denied service connection for left knee disability, right knee disability, allergic rhinitis, and a psychiatric disorder as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record was not persuasive in establishing a link between the Veteran's current disabilities and his military service, including for the claimed stressor related to PTSD.
