The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's residuals of a left leg injury, finding that these residuals had their onset in service and are related to his active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding symptom onset and challenges experienced due to his left leg injury were credible, and combined with other evidence showing residuals since service, established that the condition began during service.
