Denied
The Board denied service connection for back, left knee, right knee, left ankle, and right ankle disabilities as the evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current disability at any time during or recent to the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record does not support the conclusion that the Veteran has ever been diagnosed with a back, left or right knee, or left or right ankle disability and is not in approximate balance in the Veteran's favor in that regard.
