Denied
The Board denied service connection for a back condition and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability related to or caused by the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence was against finding that the Veteran had a back condition related to his service or secondary to his left knee disability, and there was no credible supporting evidence for an in-service stressor for PTSD.
