Denied
The Board denied service connection for a left knee disability as the evidence did not support a link between the current condition and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that it was less likely than not that the Veteran's left knee disability was related to his in-service complaints, citing a lack of chronicity during or after service and noting that the Veteran's knee surgeon stated that the Veteran did not have any knee trouble until now.
