Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's cervical strain, left knee disability, and right knee disability. The evidence did not show that these conditions began during active service or are related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The VA medical examiner opined that the Veteran's current disabilities were less likely than not due to his in-service injuries but likely related to post-service events.
