The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left leg disorder, finding no evidence of a current disability related to his active military service.
The deciding factor: Three VA examiners found no evidence linking any currently diagnosed left leg disorder to the Veteran's service or service-connected foot disabilities.
