The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's right knee condition, left knee condition, and acquired psychiatric disability due to a lack of evidence supporting a nexus between these conditions and her active duty.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current right knee strain is less likely than not related to an in-service injury. The evidence does not show continuity of symptoms since service for any of the claimed conditions, and there is no persuasive evidence supporting a direct link between the Veteran's active duty and her current disabilities.
