The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection of left foot neuropathy, finding that there was no evidence to support a link between his current condition and any in-service event or injury.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's left foot neuropathy did not originate from an event or injury during active duty, or a period of ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA.
