The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a left foot disorder and a thyroid disorder, finding no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: There is no medical evidence showing that the Veteran's current left foot or thyroid disorders are related to his period of active duty service.
