The Board has granted service connection for the veteran's right toenail condition, finding that it is a residual of an injury sustained in service. The claim for residuals of left foot injury was denied as there is no evidence of such disability during or after service.
The deciding factor: The right toenail condition is considered a residual of an injury sustained in service and the Board has granted service connection based on this finding.
