The Board has reopened the claim of service connection for a sinus condition due to new and material evidence. However, there is no current diagnosis or continuous symptomatology for right foot or right leg disabilities that can be linked to service or any service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: There is insufficient medical evidence to establish current diagnoses for the Veteran's claimed right foot and right leg disabilities, nor is there sufficient evidence linking these disabilities to service or a service-connected condition.
