Denied
The Board denied service connection for scars on the right leg and back of head, as well as left and right knee injuries, due to a lack of evidence supporting an in-service motor vehicle accident.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's lay statements were not credible given inconsistencies with his medical history reports and the absence of relevant service treatment records.
