The Board has determined that the veteran's current left leg thrombophlebitis is related to his in-service injury, and thus grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: Competent medical evidence supports a finding of an etiological relationship between the veteran's in-service injury and his current left leg thrombophlebitis, with resolution of doubt in favor of the claimant.
