The Board of Veterans' Appeals has determined that the veteran does not have a right leg disorder that is causally or etiologically related to service. Therefore, the claim for service connection for a right leg disorder is denied.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of any injury to the right leg during service and no medical opinion linking current right leg disorder to service.
