The Board denied the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for a leg disability, finding that there is no current diagnosis linking his claimed condition to his period of service or any service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examination reports did not diagnose a leg disability and the examiner opined that the discomfort in the contralateral lower extremity is unlikely due to or aggravated by the service-connected left knee disability.
