The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral knee, right hip, right calf, and low back disabilities claimed as secondary to his service connected right foot disorder due to a lack of evidence showing a relationship between these conditions and his service-connected right cuboid fracture.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence establishing a direct link between the veteran's service-connected right cuboid fracture and his current bilateral knee, right hip, right calf, and low back disabilities.
