Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for bilateral knee instability and denied service connection for right and left knee instability, finding no nexus between the Veteran's knee conditions and his service or service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions found no evidence linking the Veteran's knee conditions to his service or service-connected disabilities, and direct service connection was not supported by the record.
