Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left knee disabilities as the evidence did not support a relationship to service or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examination report was found to be more persuasive than the Veteran's statements, indicating that the bilateral knee disabilities were related to a post-service injury rather than service or a service-connected disability.
