The Board has determined that the veteran does not have current disabilities related to his claimed right leg injury, back injury, or frostbite from service. The evidence does not support a finding of service connection for any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: There is no credible evidence showing that the veteran sustained injuries during service and there are no post-service medical records linking his current conditions to those in-service incidents.
