Denied
The Board denied the claims for entitlement to service connection for a right and left knee disability, finding that there is no evidence of an in-service injury or disease related to the current disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found more probative than the private practitioner's opinion due to the lack of physical examination by the private practitioner and other supporting medical records.
