The Board has granted service connection for left foot pain, right foot pain, left hip pain, and right hip pain. The decision is based on the Veteran's reported symptoms during active service and their persistence after separation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current diagnoses of bilateral foot strain and bilateral hip strain are related to his in-service ankle injuries and consistent with the continuity of symptomatology he has reported.
