The Board granted service connection for anemia but denied service connection for a residual ovarian cyst disability, a right ankle condition, and a left foot/toe condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims of current disabilities related to her ovarian cysts or right ankle and left foot/toe conditions. However, there was sufficient evidence to grant service connection for anemia based on its onset within one year of separation from service.
