Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right ankle conditions, finding a nexus to the Veteran's military service based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions provided in January 2023 were found to be new and relevant, establishing a reasonable doubt that the Veteran's current ankle conditions are related to his in-service foot pain.
