The Board has granted service connection for a disability manifested by left leg cramps, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide a medical nexus opinion, and the Board found all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran based on his credible reports of symptoms since separation from service.
