The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a current left leg disability as a result of an injury in service and therefore, denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion provided by the VA examiner found it less likely than not that the veteran's current left leg disability was caused by or related to his military service.
