Denied
The Board denied service connection for both left and right knee disabilities, stating that the veteran's conditions were not shown as chronic in service and did not manifest to a compensable degree within the applicable presumptive period.
The deciding factor: The evidence is persuasively against finding that the Veteran's bilateral knee osteoarthritis had its onset in service or within the first post-service year.
