The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right knee disability, finding that the evidence does not support a nexus between the current condition and active service.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence did not establish a link between the Veteran's right knee strain and his in-service parachute jumps or any other incident of service, as there was no documentation of such an injury during service and the current condition is unrelated to service given the lack of evidence both in service and since discharge.
