The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current right leg disability and that any such disability is unrelated to service. As such, service connection for residuals of a right leg injury is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence linking the veteran's current right leg condition to his military service or any incident therein.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied the claims for service connection for a right fifth finger disorder and residuals of a right leg injury due to the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations without good cause.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for tinnitus, but denied the remaining claims of service connection for bilateral hearing loss, left leg shin splints, residuals of a low back injury, right leg shin splints, and residuals of a right leg injury. The decision is based on new evidence received after the July 2019 denial that supports the Veteran's claim of tinnitus being related to in-service noise exposure.
- Denied
The Board denied the claims for service connection for residuals of septoplasty, a bilateral hip condition, and residuals of a right leg injury as there was no evidence of current disabilities related to these conditions.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to the RO for initial review and consideration of additional evidence received since the most recent supplemental statement of the case.
