The Board has determined that the Veteran's non-ossifying fibroma of the right tibia, claimed as a right calf disorder, is service-connected and grants this claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the condition was at least as likely as not related to the Veteran's period of service based on his service treatment records and testimony regarding continuous symptoms since service.

What you can do next
