The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable rating for residuals of a fractured left long finger and service connection for plantar fasciitis of the right foot, finding no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that the veteran's current conditions were incurred or aggravated by his military service.
