Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left knee disability as the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current left knee disability was related to his service.
The deciding factor: The December 2020 VA medical opinion found it less likely than not that the Veteran's bilateral knee strain was related to complaints of pain in service, and there was no evidence of chronicity of a knee condition during active duty from 1971-1972.
