The Board has determined that the veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of frozen feet is denied as there is no evidence to support a finding of in-service cold injury or frostbite. The claim for an increased rating for right toe scar is also denied due to lack of medical opinion linking the current condition to service.

The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence to establish service connection for residuals of frozen feet, as no records documented a cold injury in-service and the veteran's testimony alone was not sufficient. For the increased rating claim, the VA examiner did not find any medical opinion linking the current right toe scar condition to service.
