The Board granted service connection for a right toe condition, to include hallux rigidus, based on the continuity of symptomology since discharge from active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found it was at least as likely as not that the Veteran's right toe disability manifested during active-duty service and continued since that time, considering the in-service event and post-service medical evidence.
