The Board has denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a left leg fracture, blood clots of the left arm, and urinary tract infection. The evidence does not support these claims as they are all related to post-service events or conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing that any current disabilities (residuals of a left leg fracture, blood clots of the left arm, or urinary tract infection) had their onset during service or are otherwise related to service.
