The Board has determined that the Veteran does not have a right foot disability that is related to his military service or any other condition, and therefore denied the claim of service connection for a right foot disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found no evidence linking the current right foot disability to the Veteran's military service or any other service-connected conditions.
