Denied
The Board denied service connection for right and left knee disabilities as there was no evidence of chronic disability during service or a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion, based on the absence of chronicity in 2001 and 2004, outweighed the Veteran's lay statements.
