The Board has granted service connection for a right leg condition as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected foot disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided competent and credible testimony indicating her right leg condition is worsened by her other service-connected disabilities, which was supported by an examiner's opinion in a VA examination.
