The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current disability of rubella or a bilateral leg condition, and therefore denied service connection for both conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing a current diagnosis of rubella or a bilateral leg condition, and any existing disabilities are not related to active military service.
