The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left leg neurological disorder, finding that there is no current diagnosis of such condition and that it does not meet the criteria for service connection.
The deciding factor: There was no current diagnosis of a left leg neurological disorder in the medical records provided by the VA examiner.
