Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for residuals of a left hand and foot cold injury, finding that there was no evidence to support a diagnosis of such conditions related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of residuals from a cold injury in either the left hand or foot, and the Veteran's reported symptoms were more likely due to other post-service events, injuries, or illnesses.
