The veteran's claim for service connection for right knee joint pain, left knee joint pain, left hip arthralgia with thigh splints, gynecological disorder, human papillomavirus, stress incontinence, allergic rhinitis, and tinnitus was denied. The veteran was granted a 70% rating for posttraumatic stress disorder. The claims for service connection for neck pain and lower back pain were remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding the Veteran has had any functional impairment at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim for the denied conditions.
