The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings or service connection based on the current medical findings.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing limitation of flexion to 30 degrees or less and extension to 10 degrees or more in the left knee, as well as no persuasive evidence linking the claimed disabilities to active service or a service-connected disability.
